Beryl: Good morning!
I�d like to go next week, but I have a wedding I committed to six months ago. My next scheduled date is on the 15th of November. I�ve paid for the Great Organ Hall (Salon cu Organ) in Chisinau for an event, celebrating children�s successes. This is leading to National Child Day, which commences on November 20th.
Thank you for your thoughts, I�ll provide a link to our home details, including addresses, International Charity numbers, etc.

And as such, the mayor suggested that we simply use a pit toilet for the children and teachers. And during the next year we could raise the money to have running water and flush toilets installed. Big mistake. It didn�t take me 72 hours to realise I had made a monumental error in judgement. So now we have a crisis on our hands. I�m so thankful to Rotary for jumping in and agreeing to help.
