I have been to Romania with others as part of a group, quite a number of years ago to carry out construction work on an orphanage in a voluntary capacity in a large rural town called Fágarás.
It lies in a well-known region of the country called Transylvania with a population of around 26,000. I’ve also been on a visit to Dracula’s castle.
Fárgarás was my first interaction with the two different sets of peoples, Romanians and the Roma people separated by ethnicity. I’d have to say it was an enriching experience, with both a positive and negative aspect to it. My first meeting with a Romanian lady outside of Romania itself happened in more recent years, although the meeting was fleeting, I knew there was a story there.
