Namaskar AMURT Germany,
I hope all of you do well. Here in Romania in our one year performance
report to DGAS (Social Department of Bucharest), AMURT Romania did well.
Out of 17 beneficiaries (homeless youth) 4 were fully integrated (job and
apartment), 3 are at present in independent life skill training (with job
but dependent on apartment or food), 7 are in Domnesti, and 3 left due to
personal or social reasons. When we started, one year ago, it was said by
other NGOs out of 10 beneficiaries maybe 2 or 3 will succeed.
Our contract with DGAS is three years and every year the budget is renewed
and approved by City Council of Bucharest. AMURT is waiting for the new
budget approval for 2010 to 2011 to be decided on 11 October (tomorrow
Monday).
Last week Monday the new budget was discussed with DGAS. The meeting
started with the common Romanian news about the government's decision that
salaries were cut off with 25% of all public domains and 15% of pensions.
New budget lines have been stipulated as laws, and so on. All these
reductions because EU suspended Romania from financial support until
economic improvement.
The new AMURT budget will be reduced with 61% (salaries 40%). Example my
salary dropped from net Euro 365 to 165 which I am using in supporting the
previous boys because two of them are still in the high school for one
year.
My plan is to bring up the salaries by immediately getting minimum of Euro
600 per month for six months (total 3,600). Hopefully during this period
we can create an additional project to support with 30% to the existing
project. Last few days I have managed to get three Margiis to donate Euro
100 per month for six months (total 1,800). I still need few more Euro 50
or 100 monthly supports.
I have met few of the German Margiis at Madhu Karuna but not in contact by
phone or emails. Germany has been supporting AMURT Romania before, which I
am thankful. Do you know anyone who would like to support with small
monthly contribution for six months. If you do, it would be highly
appreciated.
