As the new school year begins in Romania, joy, excitement, and purpose are filling the hearts of children and staff at LIvada Orphan Care. From creative Bible lessons to back-to-school smiles, this month has been full of reminders that every small act of love can change a child’s story.

“Aushusha” Program Brings the Bible to Life

The Aushusha program continues to bring joy to the community of Ogra, helping children discover God’s goodness through engaging, faith-filled activities.

A special lesson, “The Story of Moses in 5 Characters,” invited kids to explore themes of faith, trust, and God’s kindness through songs, prayers, and a hands-on craft inspired by the story. The laughter, creativity, and curiosity in the room were a beautiful reflection of the program’s purpose—to help children know that God is good and they are deeply loved.

A heartfelt thank-you goes out to everyone who supports this life-giving ministry, making moments like these possible for children who need encouragement and hope.

A New School Year, A New Beginning

The first day of school is always special—but for the children cared for by Fundația LOC, it’s more than just a new academic year. It’s a fresh start, full of possibilities and confidence in who they are becoming.

Backpacks were packed, smiles were wide, and hearts were full of anticipation as the children stepped into classrooms ready to learn and grow. For many, school is not only a place of education—it’s a safe space where dreams take shape, where they are seen, heard, and encouraged to become the best version of themselves.

Thanks to your continued prayers and generosity, Livada and Fundația LOC are able to provide not only education, but also emotional support, spiritual care, and a real chance at a brighter future.

“We are grateful to everyone who helps us offer education, emotional support, and a real opportunity for a better future.”

Back to School — Let’s Make It Beautiful for Every Child

Do you remember the excitement of new clothes, sharpened pencils, and colorful notebooks at the start of the school year? For many children in Romania, these simple joys remain out of reach.

That’s why Livada and Fundația LOC launched a Back to School Giving Campaign, inviting friends and donors to help provide children with school supplies, new clothes, and the joy of a hopeful beginning.

Every gift—no matter how small—brings a smile and helps a child feel valued, prepared, and loved as they begin another year of learning.
