Congrats, kids! You are so brave and all of us we are so proud of you!

This was my third year in aces !
Toma Florin Ungureanu- computers, foreign languages, volunteering, travel, sports, music, photography
I started as coordinator of my colleagues volunteers in the aces project cycle 2011-2012, when my former middle school carried an aces project on the topics of volunteering. Within that project we had our first experiences with our friends, the students with disabilities from Special Middle School "Constantin Paunescu".






Then, in 2012-2013, their school became member of "Acesland" and I was delighted  when they invited us to be tutors-volunteers .








The most beautiful moment came in April 2013, when OUR project received the award for Innovative learning!




And now, in 2013-2014, they also received the grant! When I was invited to come back, for my third year as coordinator of volunteers, I was very proud for me and for my colleagues, the tutors from the informal group "E&T Battle Station"! 







Now we are highschool students and we are spread in many colleges but we found the entire understanding and support from our teachers - ad we were able to support the participation of our friends at project activities.

As always, we are glad that together we succeeded to accomplish the goals of the project. And I have the feeling that we will come back at "Paunescu", because, as we stated at the end of our first year of collaboration, "in the matter of volunteering, the best is yet to come!"- and our friends from "Paunescu", students, teachers and everybody, will welcome us as they do every time, with the warmest smiles the most honest friendship!
Here are the tutors-volunteers members of our informal group "E&T Battle Station" that were the most active within the project activities this year- and their hobbies. They used their own hobbies to support the participation of the pupils with special needs. Many thanks my friends and can't wait to meet you in new projects, for new experiences!

Martenitza Fair at Golia Tower- We are there, step in, it's open!

In February 2013, during our aces project "Media voices 4 special teens",  we started a wonderfull partnership with Tourism Promotion Center, a non-profit organization from Iasi, Romania. Since then, we were constantly invited at the occasional fairs, to sell the handmade products of our talented pupils from Special Middle School "Constantin Paunescu" Iasi, Romania, as fundraising activities. The money that we obtain are used to support the educational activities of our school, where the children have the opportunity to practice their hobbies.
Here are some photos took today in the front of Golia Monastery, where my colleagues will be tomorrow too, to wait for you!
The most impressive thing for us, every time when we have this sort of campaigns,, is that people with fewer opportunities have full understanding and are our usual and faithfull buyers!
