Six Summer teams work hard at Casa Albert
(please be patient while the photos load. It will be worth it!)

It's been a mammoth month with 5 groups of English volunteers coming to Romania for the final push to help to complete works at Casa Albert! Thanks to:

Alan and Richard, Jan and Paul (the Cornwall group).
Keith, Dave and Ted (the Zion Baptist boys).
The Birmingham youth and leaders.
The Bath students.
The Rayleigh Essex boys and girls!

Over the past month they have…

Installed decking and balconies to three sides of the building including rails and stain:









Installed a kitchen to the 1st floor.
Installed skirting boards to the entire building:


Installed a rainbow handrail to our in-patient unit:



Installed some doors and painted them:


Put a balustrade up in the chapel mezzanine floor:


Painted the nurse station:


…In the meantime, work has been carried out by our main contractor Nova Casa, where wall and floor tiles are being installed and another builder from Brasov who have install vinyl flooring donated by www.polyflor.com and carpets to the building.

After it was all over and the volunteers had returned back to England , we had a "quick" tidy up

and here's some photos of the hard work!

Well done everyone, we're nearly there now…
