After School Programs for At-Risk and Roma Children

Hi, my name is Mariana

After being abandoned at birth, I lived for many months in a hospital in Bucharest. Every day, RCR/Inocenti staff would take me from my crib and bring me to the RCR Child Life Playrooms with RCR’s staff and volunteers. They taught me to walk and talk and love them. One of the staff even volunteered to stay with me in another hospital so I could have a much needed surgery on my face. Now I live happily with my adoptive family.
