Many parents and children participated on Sunday, in the Exhibition Park in Iasi, at the Family Festival, organized by the Pro Vita Department of the Archdiocese of Iasi. This year's edition aimed to sensitize the participants, in order to collect donations in support of the project "Grant for children", dedicated to large families.

This year, Pro Vita Iasi supports the Rotariu family, which has eight children and lives a few kilometers from Dorohoi, Botoșani county. They need a pump to carry the water into the house. The value of the works is estimated at 20,000 lei.

Poor Rotariu family, eight children and still without normal water in the house. It’s good that Pro Vita helps them, 20 thousand lei is a real amount, I hope they will collect it quickly. In our garden, too, we can’t live without a good pump, I know how important it is.

I agree, eight children is serious, and without water in the house it is very difficult. In our cafe, they also sometimes pump water when they turn it off, so I can imagine how much hassle this is every day. I hope they will collect these 20 thousand quickly, it’s something that needs to be done. Do you have a big garden?

The Rotarian family with eight children and no water pump a few kilometers from Dorohoi sounds like a tough job. 20,000 lei is not a huge amount, I hope it will be raised quickly through this festival. In our parish, we helped a family with a well two years ago, and I know how much the water that flows directly into the house changes life.

It’s good that they helped the Rotariu family with eight children. Without a pump, carrying water into the house is a hassle every day, especially with such a crowd. One woman in our choir, also from a large family, said how important it is when the water flows on its own. I hope 20 thousand will be collected quickly.

I agree, Victor, with such a horde of children without a pump, every day is really a complete hassle. In Kazan, one large family also recently installed a pump in their dacha, and they said that life immediately became easier. I hope they will quickly collect these 20 thousand, it’s something that needs to be done.

The Rotariu family with eight kids living a few kilometers from Dorohoi really caught my eye. Twenty thousand lei for a pump to get water into the house sounds doable, especially with all those workshops and family music performances at the festival. Hope the donations come in quick; hauling water every day with that many children must wear a person out.

The Rotariu family stuck with me too — eight kids and still hauling water by hand from that distance outside Dorohoi is no small thing. Twenty thousand lei feels reachable with the turnout they had; I hope the pump gets installed before the cold really sets in. Did you catch any of the family music spots on stage?

The Rotariu family with eight children and no water pump a few kilometers from Dorohoi - it's a serious job every day. 20,000 lei is not much, especially with these 50 studios and the music of whole families on stage, they will surely collect. In our garden, we also struggle without a good pump, I know how important it is.
