RCR’s first program was started in 1990 in Rusescu Spital, a pediatric hospital in sector 2 of Bucharest. Today RCR/FI supports 6 staff people and 12 volunteers working with 100+ children throughout the hospital. Special programs include: Daily Preschool, Infant and Older Children programs; Bedside activities for children unable to come to the play room; Early Literacy training; and Nutrition Training for parents.
Abandoned children are also brought to outpatient clinics for PT and Speech as needed, with ongoing exercises overseen by RCR/FI staff. Occasionally, our staff will accompany an abandoned child in need of life-saving surgery in other hospitals throughout the country.
