Supporters

The people who support the Valori de Bine programmes

Some come to the workshops and work alongside children and young people. Others prepare the meetings or connect us with people the young ones can learn from. What unites them is the care with which they make time for our children and young people.

“For me, taking part in the Valori de Bine programmes alongside the young people from SOS Satele Copiilor was a very good experience. I had the chance to get to know them in a different setting, carefully built by Valori de Bine, yet relaxed and open.

From one meeting to the next, I saw them become more open, more curious and, over time, more confident. I am really glad I could witness this journey of theirs, which is surely useful to them and gives them a solid foundation for their future.

Congratulations on the programmes you have created, and on your involvement and that of the volunteers in building this setting for children and young people. All the effort put into being there for them, organising these meetings and bringing quality people and partners before them meant a lot to me, and I am sure it did to the young people too.”

“I take part in the Valori de Bine workshops together with my daughter, and every meeting brings us joy. I love seeing how the children, some of them shy at first, gain courage, open up and feel proud of what they manage to do. I appreciate the care and dedication of the people at Valori de Bine.”
