One of the great things about having a Sabbatical (holiday!!)is the opportunity to do something different in order to refresh and renew body, mind and soul. I am very grateful for this gift of time and being here, even though it's my third visit to this country, it certainly allows me to see closely how a different culture live. As a volunteer with FAST you are welcomed into a family of people who work so hard to make a difference, Daniel and Ema, and all the team are an inspiration in all they do.
At times we have been very challenged by what we have seen, but at the same time also felt it to be a special experience. I will not forget Sorin's face when I managed to tell him that Dad was my Dad (Tata), what his age is, and that he had come to Romania to help, he was gobsmacked!! (By the way, that's another word that is not in Dads Romanian Phrasebook).
We are having great fun working as a team. If you want further evidence or have not seen it already on this blog, here we are carrying the steel reinforcement frames which are used in the shuttering for concrete foundations for the houses. George is leading the way.
