The Heart of Romania. December 11, 2009. 8220;Here, take it, Juwahnna.”. I politely refused, smiling as I heard the girl say my name so oddly. 8220;No, I want you to have it, please.” She paused and then continued, “To remember me by.”. Finally understanding why she wanted to give it to me, I let the Roma girl slip a ponytail holder onto my wrist. She smiled and hugged me tightly, “You’ll remember me, right? Yeah, it’s just a hair piece. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

Eye Care | The Heart of Romania
https://heartofromania.wordpress.com/2009/12/28/eye-care
The Heart of Romania. December 28, 2009. I tried to not stare, but it was almost impossible. The boy was missing one eye and all that was left was a hollowed out area of skin. He introduced himself and we shook hands. As my father and I walked with him, he told us his story:. He lost his eye due to cancer. And because of that tragedy, he was unable to go to get an education. In other words, he was forbidden to attend school. 8220;That’s not right! My two eyes filled with tears of joy.

The Heart of Romania. September 5, 2009. A view on the way to church. Taken by my friend Brad. Before my first time in Romania, I knew almost nothing about the country. The only thing I was really familiar with was the Romanian gymnastics in the Olympics. That’s about where my knowledge stopped. So just before my plane landed, my eyes were glued to the window.
