Last week, between 25–27 November, two Dutch professional trainers, Liesbeth den Besten and Inge van den Broek, held a training session for the employees of Caritas Catolica in Oradea on dementia care and the prevention of workplace burnout. The three-day program, supported by the Priscilla Foundation in the Netherlands, brought together twenty-five Caritas employees working in nursing homes and home-care services, including medical assistants, caregivers, and social workers.
Today we delivered used but excellent-condition Austrian school bags, supplies, and sweets to the pupils of grades I–IV at the Lucreția Suciu Primary School in Oradea.
With deep sorrow in our hearts, we accompanied on his final journey our former esteemed colleague, Imre Kertész, master carpenter, who last week, at the age of 74, returned his soul to the Creator. Since the '60s he had been in the service of the Church, and from the very foundation of Caritas he was one of its dedicated collaborators. His distinctive character, cheerful spirit, and professional humility became inseparably tied to our organization. The windows and many of the finely crafted wooden doors of the Canon's Row building remain as living testimony to his craftsmanship.
