Special Program for Mothers and Grandmothers of Children with Disabilities

On International Women’s Day, March 8, the Ianna-Floare-Aleasă Association from Turda invited mothers and grandmothers of children with disabilities to a special program.
The seminar presented by Simona Anca (president of the association) on the role of faith in family life, the practical communication games initiated to strengthen the mother-child relationship, helped participants to understand how important it is to believe in something in moments of limitation and not to lose hope. The illustration of a mother's sacrifice presented by Sorina Ureche, the song "Ce chara mi-este mama" (How dear is my mother) sung with much love by children and parents alike, accompanied on guitar by Sorina, a music teacher, and the children's puppet theatre, made this a particularly delightful moment.
The Mayor's presence was also very welcome on this occasion. He presented everyone with a flower and, in his speech, expressed his appreciation to the mothers, saying that they were the most special and hard-working mothers he had ever met. He also encouraged them to carry on the fight and not to lose hope. At this heartfelt gathering, 30 people (adults and children) enjoyed and encouraged each other, took pictures, and received small gifts (boxes of sweets) and flowers.
This meeting created a strong impression in the hearts of the participants, bringing confidence, hope, and the fact that they are not fighting alone, but God supports and loves them.
