These patients are Romania’s most forgotten people. Almost no one visits them. And in these times of happyness for all of us, I suggest we do something for these people who are long forgotten.

We will all put 60 ron, buy some candies and give them the candies as a Christmas present. Transportation to the hospital and back will be assured. There is a networking meetup after at Harbour ( 1 Piata Amzei , Bucuresti ).

We did this Christmass 2017, November 2018, December 2018, the summer of 2019 and we plan to continue doing this in 2020 and so on.

Following an original idea by Damian Galvin.

The program for December 2019 visit is here.

Short version for whatsapp :

11.30 - 12.00 Meet Auchan Vitan at RUSTIC Restaurant inside the hypermarket( https://goo.gl/maps/zTReWvFMZin )
12.15 Departure to the Balaceanca hospital ( https://goo.gl/maps/Z61SjioQwUF2 )
16.00 Networking party at Harbour ( https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Harbour/105522359528192 )

Event Harbour here : https://www.facebook.com/events/557143451499050/

Longer version :

Meeting point is at Auchan Vitan , Calea Vitan 236 ( https://goo.gl/maps/zTReWvFMZin ) at 12.00 the latest.

Bring 60 ron for gifts please, we are funding our own visit.
All those who have cars please bring your car. All those who drive please bring your license.
All those who do not drive will be carred ( not bussed ) to Balaceanca and back ( maybe to Harbour for the afterparty ).

11.25 I am meeting Damian at Auchan.

11.30 - 12.00 Auchan Vitan - regroupment at RUSTIC Restaurant in Auchan ( there is a canteen in the hypermarket, and the name is Rustic, it is near one of the entrances. If you do not see Rustic you go to the other entrance ) , we say hello , we hug each other , we exchange cards etc.

Text Tudor 0040722789938 if lost. Calling is for emergencies.
Whatsapp is rarely responded.

12.15 we leave for Balaceanca Hospital ( https://goo.gl/maps/Z61SjioQwUF2 ) ( it is not the mental hospital, it is asylum, so it's gate no. 2, just follow my car ) .

12.45 We reach Balaceanca and start giving the gifts.

16.00-23.59 Networking Meet at Harbour, we get to know each other better, share a glass of wine and exchange ideas.
