Download - Our Childrens Day 2014
Who is Heart of a Child?
The organization has been established in 1996 by a group of volunteers from Galati. They wanted to help children in need.
Our mission is to
increase the quality of children’s lives.
What do we want for children?
Better life conditions.
To have their right to education respected.
To be cared for in a family, not in an
institution.
To develop the potential of children.
To have their right to grow up and dream
