This month’s news
We were able to send another consignment of aid items to Romania at the end of May. As we have come to expect, there was some en-route changes to the documentation but the items have arrived safely. We have heard that the customs inspectors were impressed with the quality of the goods; we are grateful for all those who helped to prepare the load so diligently and to those who provided other support.
Otherwise May has been a month like so many others. No outstanding items of news: the goods are coming in, packing continues in Horley and in south Wales and our team members continue to get older!
In Dorohoi we have received another load of clothing, bedding and other goods from our UK colleagues. We appreciate the effort which goes into preparing these loads and are happy to pass on the thanks of those who receive the goods. In addition we have continued to receive short-dated foodstuffs from two local supermarkets; the usual shelf value of food received during May exceeded 12,600 pounds.
Laurentiu Lozneanu has been a prominent member of the AN team since its inception some 26 years ago. His maturity and advice have been invaluable, as has his willingness to be hands-on and get involved in our activities. He has been instrumental in the success of Casa Neemia and now oversees the distribution of aid from the office. Recently Laurentiu achieved that age when work becomes optional (in theory at least). He has decided to continue to work with AN, on a voluntary basis, and for that we are extremely grateful.
