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. Andrei Diaconescu, the diocesan councilor who coordinates the Social-Philanthropic and Mission Sector of the Archdiocese of Argeș and Muscel.

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.

Хубаво е, че поддържат връзката редовно на няколко месеца, а не само веднъж. 18 000 леи хигиенни продукти за децата в Питещ звучат точно на място – особено като знам колко често се мият ръчички и личица в такава болница. Отец Андрей добре го каза за нашите арджешки дечица, които отиват там да ги лекуват.

Хорошо, что они не раз в год приезжают, а каждые несколько месяцев. 18 тысяч леев на средства гигиены — это именно то, что в детской больнице уходит быстро, особенно когда моют руки и лица у малышей. Отец Андрей верно сказал про наших арджешских деток, которые туда попадают.

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.
