A WEEK IN ROMANIA
The week we had in Romania was like all the other Comenius weeks we had had before – wonderful and unforgettable! From Bucharest to Onesti, from the city to the mountains, from the contact with teachers and the children to the flavours we tasted, we enjoyed all we were given the opportunity to live and experience.
We think Romania is a very beautiful country, with a wide variety of landscapes which we are glad we had the chance to visit. The confusion of Bucharest is quite different from the quietness of Onesti, but each has delighted us with its nice places and monuments. And what to say about the mountains painted white for our delight?! Amazing!
We were also pleased with the time we spent in the kindergartens. In Onesti we got the proof that more than the built spaces, the important things are the strength and the will of all those teachers, assistants and staff who do a great work with the children showing them a way to grow up and leading them through their learning process. And we believe those children will become honoured adults and will be able to help Romania become a richer country.
We are thankful for th
e kindness of the teachers and all staff at the kindergartens and the way they took us in and let us mess up their routines. We thank Tatiana for having done such a great work to provide all necessary conditions for us to have a good stay, we thank her and the teachers for opening the doors of the kindergartens and other schools and letting all happen; we thank the staff for providing food and drink and all we needed to have a nice da
y; we thank the translators for all their patience and dedication to us throughout the week.
We always come home with the feeling of taking part in a great project, a project which allows us to make friends in so many different places. When the departure time comes, we all share the same sadness and the idea that we wanted the week to go on an on. After one more week, all we can say to our Comenius Friends we leave behind is that we feel richer and happy at the same time because we took them home with us in our hearts.
