Day Camps for 50 Children

During every summer holiday, our day camps bring together 50 children from the community and children who attend the foundation's centre.

Two weeks of games, crafts, nature exploration, music, poetry, team challenges and friendship — and, at the end, a balloon carrying each child's biggest dream into the sky.

A Different Week for primary school children
Every year

"A Different Week" — Săptămâna Altfel

Over 200 children from primary schools in Sighisoara take part in our "A Different Week" programme, discovering the work of the foundation through interactive visits, workshops and conversations about community and care.

Open Doors Day at Veritas
Every December

Open Doors Day

Around St. Nicholas Day, our Open Doors Day welcomes over 200 children into our home, each with their energy, enthusiasm and desire to discover the world through the eyes of goodness.

Together with the senior volunteers of the Generations project, we listen to the story of St. Nicholas, paint greeting cards, share warm tea and biscuits, and celebrate Volunteer Day — in a warm atmosphere of connection between generations.
