Hi Cristobel,

My daughter Julia has registered for Romania. We are concerned that she is a vegetarian and will have trouble getting enough to eat. Can you illuminate me about food opportunities while in Romania? Thank you Annette Myers

p.s. Do you ever tutor anyone in Mandarin? We've been praying for a tutor for Julia.

Hi Annette
All our meals are at Smiles Foundation, it is a British-run missionary dorms style living and cafeteria. I think eating salads wouldn't be a problem. She might want to bring her own snacks with her. Like the snack size Tuna and Crackers, Boost & Vitamins Supplement, those she probably could not easily find in that city.

About Mandarin, both my nephew and me speak Mandarin Chinese. We can look into that possibly.

On top of the monthly statement, I will let the team know at every training session the amount of donations received and who the donor is.

Thanks, christabel

My brother-in-law is from that area in Romania. He lives here in S. FL. He'd be happy to answer questions if there is need. He currently works as a translator in the US.
