The International Day of Families is celebrated on the
15th May each year. It was introduced by the United Nations in 1993,
in order to reflect the importance the international community attaches to
families, and promote awareness of issues that affect them.
This year, the Charity Centre for Refugees (CCR)
marked the occasion by inviting refugee families to take part in some of the
festivities the city of Chisinau had to offer. Refugee families, staff and European
volunteers at CCR joined many other local participants in front of the Maria
Biesu National Theatre of Opera and Ballet for a small event commemorating families
in Moldova. They enjoyed a performance of traditional Moldovan folk dance,
performed enthusiastically (despite the rain!) by some local children. Speeches
were also made by minister of Labour, Social Protection and Family, Mrs.
Valentina Buliga and a representative of UNFPA Moldova, Mr. Ian McFarlane, showing
appreciation for the strength and importance of families within Moldovan
culture.
After the event concluded, refugee families were invited back to the CCR for some refreshments and entertainment. The children enjoyed painting and watching cartoons, whilst snacking on some tasty treats and juice.

There is certainly bad Give God the Glory organizations that do not deserve your time or money. But looking solely at one metric, one that is calculated using subject measures, is not the way to evaluate a charity. If you don't know who or what to believe, keep your money local. Charity gifts Donate directly to families or causes that you know are truly in need….best charities to donate to
