This summer we had the privilege of staying at Victory Baptist church in Comanesti!

Pastor Adrian and his church have been forever supporters of Cry in the Dark, but this summer they opened the doors of their church and allowed us to host our Ukrainian summer camp there, 24/7!

The congregation showed such love to the children, they prayed for them, bought them endless treats and came to visit to build relationships!

This summer wouldn’t have been possible without our church family.

Multumesc Foate mult!

We would like to say a massive thank you to each and every one of our amazing supporters who gave towards the 4x4 appeal we ran at the beginning of the year.

Our community palliative care team now have a brand new hybrid 4x4 that will enable them to reach some of the most vulnerable people in the Bacău county, bringing care and relief to them in their homes.

Thank you will never seem like enough, but on behalf of all those we care for in Romania, thank you, over, over and again.

Goodbye to our fantastic week 2 children!

What a privilege it is to be trusted to give these kids a holiday in Romania.
We love hosting summer camp in Romania for these Ukrainian kids.

This year we have received incredible sponsorship from friends all over the world, which means we are able to treat these kids to a really special holiday. Without our sponsors we simply would not be able to run these summer holidays.
Thank you so much!

Go safely kids, we all love you! 🇺🇦

Another week, another fantastic group of volunteers! Our last volunteers left today and we already miss them like crazy!...

Another week, another fantastic group of volunteers!

Our last volunteers left today and we already miss them like crazy!

Some of them have been here for 2 weeks, serving the children at both camps, some arrived as the kids did!
We could never explain the blessing the CitD volunteers are to the work we are able to do in Romania and Ukraine. Without them, nothing would be possible.

The children loved them being here… and so did we!

Thank you our friends!

Yesterday we got to bring 4 of our adults from Casa lumina over to the temporary pool that we have set up summer camp.

We had so much fun, the splashing was on another level but it was fantastic.

Thank you so much to the incredible organisation who gave us a grant to purchase the pool, it’s benefited far beyond summer camp, Casa lumina love it too!

A moment for the week 1 volunteers.

Summer camp would not run without those who make the choice to come to Romania, dedicate their time, and give a little piece of their hearts to the children who attend.

Our week one team was made up of CitD summer veterans and some new comers, each of them got stuck in, held space for those we work with and contributed to our successful week!

Thank you all!

Ukrainian Summer camp in Romania, week one, over and out!

We have had some amazing children come back to visit us this year, along with 5 new friends who had never been to summer camp with CitD.
We are so excited to have been able to offer this holiday for Ukrainian children for the fifth year now.

We were so blessed having them live with us here in Romania for a week.

Please pray for these children and their families in Ukraine.

Roll on week two!
