Waiting for a Hot Meal

Politicians repeatedly announce that the economy is growing and the country is on the right track, yet these claims are contradicted by statistics from specialized institutions showing Romania among the poorest nations in Europe. Most people enjoying a decent standard of living cannot imagine that, just around the corner, entire communities are living at subsistence level. Thanks to the work of charitable organizations, foundations, and associations – funded by donations and mutual aid – these communities receive various goods, clothing, school supplies, and more. Whenever possible, they are also offered a hot meal.
