10 March 2026 Daniel Centre The Hungarian Company gave a very good Review of the Daniel Centre and made some interesting suggestions, including the possibility of calculating how much the improvement in future prospects for their young people will save the Romanian government what they might eventually have to pay out in social benefits for these young people. Balazs had a very good time this past month in Scotland with the 12 members of Blythswood’s senior team and sponsors. Balazs has now received a pledge of the hoped-for funds from sponsors for Blythswood’s 3 partners in the Ukraine. Balazs and Jeremy leave on Wednesday, 11th March, for 9 days in Africa, to spend 2 days at the Sargy School and 2 days with the Pamoja schools and orphanages in Kenya before flying on to visit the Stream of Hope outreach which Blythswood supports in Zimbabwe. Two members of the group of Irish volunteers from the Reformed Presbyterian Church of Ireland, who hope to do building work for Pamoja in August, will travel with Balazs and Jeremy this month to reconnoitre the situation there.
Talita Kum Adi continues to wrestle with the removal of Talitha Kum’s tax-exemption status and the fact that their faulty fire alarm system has not yet been resolved. Talita Kum continues to receive up to 85 young people, mainly from the Roma or gypsy community, for meals and after-school help with homework, five days a week. |
