Moldova
Saturday, April 24th 2010 was a great day for the town of Cornesti in Moldova. More than 500 people were served a free meal and given a haircut; listened to music and watched their kids participate in numerous activities. 75 volunteers from 10 churches came to help in this huge event sponsored by Rockford First Church in Rockford, Illinois, U.S.A. and Convoy of Hope Europe. Every family also received a generous food packet before they left. The following week, further help was provided to orphans, a mother and baby center, an agricultural micro business. The volunteers also helped to construct a new city well.
Convoy of Hope Europe has initiated an ‘Adopt a Community’ program in several places across Europe.
They work in co-operation with churches and organizations. Their goal, with the help of Rockford First in Rockford, Illinois, is to socially, spiritually and physically change the town of Cornesti.
Moldova is recognized as the poorest country in Europe.
