Romania Testimonials

Romania was a truly impactful experience. This opportunity allowed me to see firsthand the challenges that individuals with autism face in their daily lives. I was deeply moved by how the local grassroots organization, partnered with Globe Aware, is dedicated to providing the support and care these individuals need, all while doing their best to bring smiles to their faces. The most lasting memory I took from this experience was a session with 9-year-old Paul. He was able to communicate with me in English, and we played multiple games and had fun conversations. This wonderful experience wouldn't have been possible without Jessica proactively arranging it. Jessica did a fantastic job. I couldn't have asked for a better coordinator!

I had plenty of time to work with the center, explore the area, and get acquainted with the local culture. The food was absolutely delicious, and Coordinator Jessica's recommendations were spot on, hitting all the right taste buds! .

I was lucky enough to participate with two friends - a professor and special ed teacher. Their insight into why social interactions, singing, etc was so meaningful was educational for me. Plus I enjoyed learning more about the center and how those with special needs in Romania are supported. Appreciated the personal service. Nicoletta, Mihai and Bogdan were excellent hosts and the camaraderie was fun and meaningful. [The Globe Aware program] is a very well rounded and thought through program. The hotel was great - service was top-notch and absolutely everyone was very fluent and so passionate about their roles. You can tell they are passionate about what they are doing.

I had a fine time in Romania, one of my best Globe Aware trips.(...) I want you to know what a wonderful week you provided me in Romania. It was even more special because we were trated more like a part of the family than visitors - staying at their B&B - like one of their family. Food was WONDERFUL! I am glad we were able to further the goals for the community center as it will supply some critical services when it is completed. A busy but satisfying week! - Mark Sanger, November 2012
