While many children spent their summer holidays playing and relaxing, we dedicated these months to nurturing curiosity, celebrating achievement, and reinforcing the value of learning. Through books, awards, and heartfelt encouragement, we reminded children that education doesn’t pause for summer—it grows with them.
In a joyful initiative aimed at promoting early literacy and bilingual learning, 768 children aged 6 to 10 from School No. 1 in Gura Humorului received English-language storybooks: Maya the Mouse and Sophia the Star Fish. These beautifully illustrated books sparked imagination and introduced young readers to the English language in a playful and engaging way. For many, it was their first book in English—and the beginning of a lifelong love for reading.
Celebrating Inclusive Education
We proudly honored 18 students from the Inclusive Education School Centre for their outstanding academic performance during the 2024/2025 school year. These children, who often face additional challenges in their educational journey, were celebrated not just for their grades, but for their perseverance, growth, and spirit. Their success is a testament to the power of inclusive support and personalized learning.
Honoring Champions – Academic and Athletic
In a grand ceremony filled with pride and applause, we awarded 239 students from Gura Humorului who excelled in various academic competitions and sports events throughout the school year. These young champions represented their schools in regional and national contests, bringing home medals, certificates, and above all, inspiration for their peers. Their achievements reflect the dedication of teachers, families, and the community at large.
With over 1,000 children impacted through reading initiatives and award ceremonies, we continue to build a culture where education is not just a requirement, but a source of pride and joy.
