GLIA Gift Catalogue
Since 1992 Peter and Lesley Butcher have been working in Dorohoi, Romania. Dorohoi, situated in the north-east corner of Romania is a town principally composed of crumbling houses and tenement blocks built during communist times. The town has a population of approximately 40,000 of which well 
over 85% are unemployed. Many families have had their gas and electric cut off as they have little or no income and have built up large outstanding debts for these utilities and for water. Medicine and hospital treatment all have to be paid for and this leads to additional debts or necessary treatment not being given.
We provide between 250 - 300 three course meals a week; for many people it is the only time they eat at tables and we endeavour to give them dignity and respect which cannot be given at the town Soup Kitchen where they have to queue for a bucket of soup. Ana is a lovely Romanian lady who cooks the meals and she is helped by Ami who also helps with the cleaning of the Centre. People can also come for hot showers, soap and towels provided, as many dont have water in their homes.
