Once again, the flames of solidarity shone in Oradea’s main square, where the Greek Catholic Caritas Eparhial and Roman Catholic Caritas Catolica jointly organized this year’s One Million Stars event on Thursday, October 24. The two Catholic aid organizations in Oradea host this traditional visibility event annually at an iconic public space, and all proceeds are donated to charitable causes.
As a continuation of the highly successful back-to-school aid program launched last year, our German sponsor, Günther Wiedemann, and the team from the Alb Donau Rumänienhilfe charity organization, have decided to organize another collection this year to support disadvantaged students in Romania.
We spent a special day together at the charity fair organized by the Social Assistance Directorate of Oradea (DASO), where Caritas Catolica staff provided free blood pressure and blood sugar measurements, and the community from the Saint Martin Elderly Home offered handmade products for sale.
