Well done, it's beautiful and I'm happy. Mă buchar că au săbăuşi şi rechizite şi jucarii pentru copii, nu doar îmâtă. Tradiția asta de a merge an de an în satul natal al Înaltpreasfințului Calinic zic că e un lucur bun de tot.

Yes, bine că au pus și rechizite și jucării, copiii se bucură cel mai mult de asta. E frumos că au făcut tradiție din campania asta în satul natal al Înaltpreasfințitului Calinic. Mulțumesc voluntarilor și Parohiei Fundeni.

Good thing supplies and toys arrived too, not just food packages. It's nice that it has become a tradition to go to Cracăul Negru, the birthplace of His Holiness Calinic, every year. Thank you to the volunteers and Fundeni Parish.

Good thing that happened. I am glad that they not only distributed food, but also clothes, shoes, school supplies and toys for the children. Nice tradition that they do every year in Cracăul Negru, the village of Archbishop Kalinik.

I agree, Michael. It's good that the children also thought about school supplies and toys, it's not just the food that counts. This tradition every year in the village of the Archbishop shows that the help remains constant, not just once.

I agree, children really grab toys and notebooks first. In our Sunday school, it’s also noticeable how the eyes light up just from such little things. Have you been to those parts yourself or just follow the news?
