“We have been fighting every day for over twenty years to guarantee abandoned and seropositive (HIV +) children are welcome into a family and enjoy the opportunities that Life has denied them”.
Bambini in Emergenza offers abandoned children and those reported by social services, an immediate welcome at their Andreea Damato Pilot Centre (in Singureni, in the South of Romania) and then making daily efforts to restore their missed growth opportunities and a sustainable lasting reintegration into society.
.
Most of the housed children in the Pilot Centre have been abandoned at birth, often directly in the hospital, where they generally remain for 6-12 months waiting for a ‘destination’.
In order to promote the child’s cognitive development, allowing him a balanced growth and maximizing his learning skills, the Montessori Method was adopted in the Pilot Centre.
Most of the children in the Pilot Centre were born to a seropositive mother. Many of them were abandoned by their mothers immediately after birth in the hospital, in the maternity wards.
Through the words and the voice of Mino Damato, our founder, we will explain how Bambini in Emergenza was born.
