Why do children want a computer

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

Hello dear supporters of License To Hope. We hope you had a great Easter with your families and friends.

We went last week to see some of the children at the foundation and we were really surprised on how energic,  joyfull and playfull they were.

We talked to some of them and among some questions we asked them why they want a computer through the License to Hope campaign. We selected some of their answers and we will publish each of them day by day for 1 week in our blog posts and Facebook, so that you have an idea of how the fact of having a computer and working on it is reflected through the children’s eyes and mind.

Vasilica, 10 years old says: ” I would want a computer for studying and chatting with other children on the internet. I would go on internet to find some of my friends , play and also communicate with my relatives from abroad and wish them good health when it’s holiday times”.

You can contribute directly through the License to Hope campaign.

It’s up to us to help them!

Easter surprise for the children at FRCCF

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

As the Easter Holidays are approaching, the License to Hope team thought about preparing a nice surprise for the children at FRCCF.

This is why we got them Easter chocolate bunnies and made a surprise visit to the foundation. When we got there, the children were making some Easter baskets for their families and friends. We were very surprised to see them all so excited about the visit and so open and friendly to us. They showed us all the nice activities they do at the foundation.

We talked to them about their school activity but also about what they like to do during their spare time. They opened up to us and told us about what soccer team they liked, their favorite subjects in school, they showed us their drawings and they were anxious for the Easter Holidays to come.

The children were very excited about our visit and making new friends and so were we. When we left we promised them to come back and we’ll do more fun activities together.

They wanted to send a special message for the supporters of the campaign, wishing all of us a ‘Happy and Joyful Easter!’

We added below some of the pictures we took during our visit.
