For some years now we've noticed that a lot of Dutch Christians regularly trek to Romania bringing stuff, volunteering at orphanages, ministering short- and long-term . . .. Because the Roma in Romania are frequently in even more material and social need than others there, these organizations and individuals often become focused on Roma.
Apparantly we are not the only ones who've noticed this. Christelijke Platform OostEuropa (Christian Platform Eastern Europe) has started hosting a Romany Network. Currently the following organizations are invovled :
BandmetBand
Betanie
Christian Roma support
Gain
Hulp Oosteuropa
Immanuel Bedum
Oost Europa Noorderveld
Pacea Domnului
ProRomi/ProRroma
Roma Bible Union
Scharlaken Koord (Scarlet Cord)
Onderdak
Trans World Radio
Vrienden van Padureni.
For more information on this organization and their third meeting (scheduled for June 15 in Utrecht), go to: http://cpoosteuropa.wordpress.com/2013/05/08/roma-netwerkgroep/ .
