what a week

last week we had heavy rain in Dorohoi. Hands of hope homes had gardens flooded. thankfully the water levels went down and On thursday Chris and I left to spend a few days travelling across Romania then on Satuday met up with the parents and their children who attend the special needs Centre on Dorohoi. Hands of Hope had helped to fund a 6 night holiday at a thermal springs resort. An ideal time for the families use the facilities and have quality time together.
Today we heard that Dorohoi had had torrential rain. dams bursts, rivers broke banks, bridges washed away. Power down and no running water in Dorohoi tonight. the hands of Hope homes are flooded and families evacuated.
Chris and I have decided to leave early in the morning and drive back to Dorohoi. should take about 9 hours, but will be longer as we have to go in a different way than normal due to floods.
One of the families who are with us in Baile Felix for the holiday has heard that there house is flooded so they are coming wth us.
we will stop on the way to stock up with bottled water and food so we can distibute to those in need. if you can help fund this please get in touch or send a donation via the pay pal link on the web site. www.handsofhope.org.im
