Romania is undergoing a
hard, cold winter. Lines for
food continue to form early
in the morning. In the open
air market there are some
apples, very limited
amounts of carrots, beets,
potatoes and onions, and not
much else. Our packages
are no longer supplemen-
tary but a basic part of the
diet, and our priority has
become to get food to those
who need it most as fast as
possible.
We have moved up distri-
bution of our packages to
coincide with the worst
rigors of the winter. After
these supplies have been
used up we will assess what
we have left in our budget
for the summer months.
The January parcel in-
cluded five cans of sardines,
one unit of cheese, three
packages of biscuits, 24
eggs, sugar compote, jam,
noodles, rice, honey, soap,
powdered soup. The Feb-
ruary parcel contained the
same, but with additional
eggs and three cans of meat
(900 gr.). Approximately
4,800 packages will be dis-
tributed monthly over the
next five months.
