6th, 7th and 8th graders (below) at Griswold Elementary School
in Helix, Oregon, gather for their presentation of a $900 check to be used
to benefit children in Romania. Instructor Renee Schuening, left, spearheaded
the project.
Dave Conklin receives check (below) from Griswold students
during their presentation ceremony. Helix students earned all the money
by working on various projects in the community. Sufficient money was raised
to purchase a TV-VCR for a Romanian school, fresh fruits
for orphans and street children; plus, there was almost enough money
was left over to repeat the project at another Romanian school.

(below) Alex is the inspiration behind this project. Heart
for Romania brought Alex to America for medical treatment. He attends the
Helix school when he is in America for medical treatment, and the Helix
children wanted to help Alex's school back home in Romania. Alex is
shown here holding the check that was used in his school on the other
side of the world.
(below) Alex gives a speech in front of his Romanian school
assembly, thanking the Helix school for their generous gift.
