The Archdiocese of Argeș and Muscel donated hygiene products worth 18,000 lei to the Pediatric Hospital in Pitesti. The action was carried out by the Social-Philanthropic and Mission Sector of the diocese.

"Our relationship with the hospital being an old one, it must be marked once every few months, because here also our babies, the babies of the people of Arges, arrive to be healed in their moments of suffering", declared, for Trinitas TV, Fr.

It's good to see the relationship with the pediatric hospital is kept up regularly like that. 18,000 lei worth of hygiene supplies will definitely help those little ones and ease the budget a bit. Father Andrei's words about the local kids being treated there hit home.

It's nice they keep showing up every few months instead of just once. Those hygiene products add up quick when you're washing little hands and faces all day, and Father Andrei's point about our own Argeș kids landing there really stuck with me. Glad the director mentioned the long-term partnership too.

It's nice that they maintain the connection regularly every few months and not just once. 18,000 lei of hygiene products for the children in Pitesti sounds exactly right - especially when I know how often hands and faces are washed in such a hospital. Father Andrey said it well about our children from Arze, who go there to treat them.

It’s good that they come not once a year, but every few months. 18 thousand lei for hygiene products is exactly what is spent quickly in a children's hospital, especially when washing the hands and faces of children. Father Andrey said correctly about our Argesh children who end up there.

I agree, that steady rhythm every few months makes a real difference. My daughter used to volunteer at a children's clinic here in Boston, and she said the soap and wipes run out faster than anyone expects. Nice to hear the partnership with the archbishop has lasted so long.
