Romania

Malcolm and Christine Ford head up the work in Romania, and have been travelling there since 1983. Following the revolution in 1989, a charity was formed, both in the UK and in Romania.

The work of ACA is now mainly run in the village of Vulcan, which is approx. 18 km from Braşov. Initially two properties were purchased there, Casa Betania and Casa Shalom. A kindergarten was held in Casa Shalom, but in 2008 we had to sell Casa Shalom because when Romania entered the EU, regulations prevented us from holding a kindergarten in the house, as it was not up to EU standards. ACA currently rents a room, kitchen and toilets from the local Baptist Church and the Kindergarten is now run there, 5 days a week and currently there are approx. 20 children, both Romanian and Gypsy. Casa Betania is now Malcolm & Christine’s main base in Romania. Here, aid, which is sent from the UK, is sorted and distributed to those in need. There is also a canteen which feeds 180 poor children 1 meal a day, 5 days a week. We have a sponsorship programme for children in the canteen. ACA have recently purchased the house next door, where the canteen is held.

There are currently 8 Romanian workers committed to ACA, most of whom are sponsored from the UK.
