Dear friends,
It’s time for my next project! This time I am starting a project back home in Romania that is created especially for the children that are part of World Vision Romania Foundation’s projects. My name is Luiza Stanescu and I am a Romanian actress that lives in Sweden after finishing my master degree at the Theater University from Malmö. One of my main interests is to combine theater with social work, focusing especially on working with children.
World Vision is a Christian relief, development and advocacy organization dedicated to working with children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice. Inspired by Christian values, World Vision is dedicated to working with the world’s most vulnerable people. World Vision works with all people regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or gender. You can find more details about them here: http://www.worldvision.org/ or on their Romanian website: www.worldvision.ro.
"My Story Romania" is a project I initiated for the children from a small village from south Romania. For two months the kids will be part of a theater workshop that will end up with a theater performance about their lives. I am aiming of raising the awareness about their lives and try to get more Romanians to support World Vision in their actions. In a Romania full of corruption and poverty, it’s very hard to make people trust that the organizations will do their job, no matter what. I want to explain to the people of Romania the need of help that these kids have and I will use a performance about their lives in order to do that. I will also try to explain to the audience how World Vision is helping these children. None the less, I am aiming of offering these kids 2 months of having fun while trying to develop their natural talents with the help of theater and improvisation games.
This time I will be working with a total amount of 26 children. They are all in-between 10 and 14 years old and they all live in the same small village. Most of them come from a poor background and some of them are being raised by their grandparents since their parents are out of the country to work. They all go to the same little school and they all dream of going to high school. Most of them can’t afford the expenses that implies, but World Vision has a program for this problem where private persons can choose to sponsor one kid while going to high school. I think that my project will also help these kids to get their stories known and maybe have a better chance to continue school. They will have drama as a tool to speak about their lives and their dreams.
Right now I am trying to raise some funds in order to offer these kids food every time we meet to work. Most of them don’t have a varied diet and they definitely don’t get sweets that often. I plan to offer them different food-surprises every time and I will make my decisions after knowing them and their needs better. This is a private initiative and I do not represent any organization. This is just my way of trying to bring some extra joy to the children that will be involved in my project.
