The team and I have now arrived safely in Hunedoara, Romania and I'm beginning to settle in here in my accommodation for week one at the Bethlehem Christian Centre. The pics are of the centre itself and the view of the Carpathian Mountains (well some of them) from the back.
For this first week I'm going to be shadowing five of the centre's staff for a day each, beginning with the centre's own church pastor tomorrrow and then the supporting church's pastor on Tuesday, but I will also spend time with other workers later in the week, including the Social Worker and Disability Outreach Worker too. The rest of the team left this evening for the camp in Vermana (not sure of the spelling). I'll be joining them next Saturday for the disabled camp. I'm not alone here though as there is a team of around 16 staying from Switzerland to help run some ot the centre's summer programme and of course there is the staff too. Thee BCC is involved in many outreach projects in this poor community which it sits in the heart of, and I'm looking forward to seeing some of them over the next few days.
Theoretically, I should have more downtime here as I'm on my own and only expecting to work during the day, so that being the case I intend to finish posting about our Canada trip, but we'll see how it goes. I have internet access in the centre all this week so I'm hopeful I can spend time to do that.
