Alexandru alearga pentru educatia copiilor cu United Way

Buna,

 Eu sunt Alex Nica, si imi place sa fac sport, in special sa alerg. De obicei dimineata, cam pe la rasaritul soarelui.

Participand la diferite competitii am descoperit foarte multi oameni care au si un scop caritabil. Cel mai mult m-a impresionat cursa Wings for Life World Run. Pe scurt, peste 30000 de oameni din 34 de tari care alearga simultan pentru cei care nu pot alerga. Nu exista premii, sau alte beneficii, iar toate incasarile sunt directionate catre cercetarea pentru vindecarea leziunilor maduvei spinarii. Asa ca mi-am luat inima in dinti si am ales ca la Semimaratonul Bucuresti sa alerg alaturi de echipa United Way pentru a sustine educatia copiilor fara posibilitati materiale. De ce United Way? Pentru ca am participat alaturi de ei ca voluntar la selectarea si evaluarea proiectelor in care se implica fundatia si fac lucruri extraordinare. De ce educatia copiilor fara posibilitati materiale? Pentru ca educatia inseamna un viitor mai bun, o societate mai frumoasa si o natiune puternica.

Impreuna cu United Way, putem asigura accesul la scoala celor peste 1.000 de copii din familii cu mari probleme economice (parintii au venituri insuficiente sau sunt someri, familii monoparentale, cu multi copii, fara conditii de locuit, etc.). Copii inclusi in programele United Way primesc ingrijire si sprijin gratuit, in 12 centre de zi si gradinite sociale din Bucuresti. Ei sunt ajutati sa isi faca temele si sa recupereze ce nu au invatat la timp. In plus, primesc ingrijire specializata, consiliere psihologica, dar si rechizite si hainute pentru a merge pregatiti la scoala, iar pranzul pe care il primesc aici e uneori singura masa calda a zilei.

Ajutati-ma sa ii sustinem pe acesti copii si sa le dam o sansa. Orice gest conteaza, indiferent ca faceti o donatie, spuneti prietenilor despre United Way sau aveti o incurajare pentru mine care sa ma motiveze sa ajung la linia de sosire. Va multumesc!

Hi,

My name is Alex Nica, and I like to run. Usually in the morning, at sunrise.

Going to different running events, I discovered a lot of people who run for charity. I was very impressed by the Wings for Life World Run. It’s a race where 30000 people across the globe run for those who can’t run. There are no prizes or other benefits, and all the money raised are invested in research into curing spinal cord injury. So I decided that at the Bucharest Semi Marathon this year I will run for United Way Foundation to support education for children coming from very poor families.

Together with the United Way Foundation, we can provide access to more than 1,000 school children coming from families with economic problems (parents have insufficient income or are unemployed, single-parent families with many children, no housing, etc.). Children enrolled in the United Way program receive care and support in 12 day care centers and kindergartens in Bucharest. They are helped to do their homework and study the lessons that they may have missed in the past. In addition, they receive specialized care, counseling, school supplies and clothes. For most of them, the lunch they receive here is sometimes the only hot meal of the day.

Let’s help the children together and give them the tool for a better life. Any gesture counts, you can donate, spread the word about this or support me for the race.

Thank you!
