Meet an idol: Meeting with the Royal Family

History comes alive at Aiud! The Royal Train stopped for a few minutes at the station in Aiud. 12 students from the school units in Aiud and Ciumbrud with the History teacher Corina Voicu were invited to travel with the Royal Family to Teiuș. Impressed by where they were, the students learned the story of the Royal Train and the historical events it witnessed over time! A unique moment in life, where we witnessed history!

We have met our “idol” in the person of a parent, a law graduate, who engaged us in a very productive discussion about rights and responsabilities and helped us better understand that knowing both our rights and responsibilities is essential for a happy, well-balanced life in a healthy society. If we are informed about our rights, we can easily recognise and condemn all forms abuse and having full knowledge of our responsibilities helps us adopt a proper behaviour with other people.

We met our classmate’s grandad Agostino.He is retired and he is now a TELE-AID volunteer, that is, he helps elderly people who are alone, who do not have a family. Every day, the volunteers take turns calling these elderly people on the phone and asking if they are well or if they need anything. Elderly people have a kind of alarm hanging around their necks and if they need or feel bad they press a button and the volunteers immediately go to the rescue.

We met also some firefighters and they told about earthquakes, fires, people or animals they have saved. We asked a lot of questions, especially how they feel when they manage to save lives and when unfortunately they don’t.
We are glad to have talked to these people who help others and many of us would do this when we grow up.

A……“special” visit!!  

        On Wednesday, January 25, the 3rd and 4th grade students visited the SOS Children’s Village in Aristinos. The village was relatively small, but nice. It had two-story, colorful houses, a soccer field and a small playground. Also, there was a large hall with many chairs and a projector. Arriving there, Mrs. Stavroula and Mrs. Korina, who are social workers, were waiting for us. We immediately gave the food we had collected to the school, to help the people living there. They thanked us and then told us about how SOS Villages work.

Csilla Balogh is a speech therapist in Aiud. She has been working with troubled children for a lifetime, especially those with autism and Down syndrome. 12 years ago, what she could do in the extremely limited framework of the cabinet in the city no longer seemed to her to be enough. She felt that patients needed more than a therapy session, they needed an open space, joy, smile and confidence in themselves in order to heal. She studied, she informed himself, and everything he learned somehow happily overlapped with the promise that someone had made her, to give him some horses.
