Bridgebuilder Project

For several years, the Friendship Force of Dallas club has donated refurbished computers fitted with sound cards to schools for the blind in Peru, Chile, Romania and Palestine. These are the latest computers donated to the School for the Visually Deficient in Brasov, Romania. The Brasov and Sibiu clubs visited Dallas in April 2007 and brought back additional computers to Brasov.

From Romania:

Dear Ed,

The romanian group, members of Friendship Force Intl, have already made it back to Romania. Everybody is very happy for their experience lived in the US. Now we all know what it means to be a member of this organisation. I thank you for your confidence in me, I'm sorry that the our start was a little slow, but from now on everything will be much easier since Marius, the next president of the club speaks english. I thank you for the 2 computers which have alredy made it to the "Blind Children Center". Without you, I couldn't have done it ! For all your and your wife's efforts I thank you once again ! I hope to see you next year in Romania, with the Dallas's club members.

Sincerely Yours,
Azota Popescu
