People who are struggling, who are orphans, not only in Cristuru Secuiesc, but even the surrounding villages: Filiaşi, Beteşti, Rugăneşti, Cecheşti, Avrămeşti, Harghita County.

Mission and Objectives

Protective rooms: We provide children and youth, which largely grew up in the orphanage without privacy rooms to retreat, with places, where they feel comfortable, where they are able to meet each other in a secure environment and can experience a positive impulse for their mental and spiritual growth.
Abilities and skills: Children and youth from the Roma and non Roma also youth orphanage seldom experienced individual support, as it is found in the social environment of a functional family structure. They often have distinct learning and concentration weaknesses.
Integration: Children and youth from the Roma and non Roma , and also orphan represent within the Hungarian and Romanian society a segregated social group. They differ from “normal” youth through their social behavior, their own language (orphanage slang) and the lack of organization of a self-determined life. A majority, approximately more than two thirds of them, belong to the minority of the Roma (Hungarian “Cigány”, English “Gypsy”). Members of this minority are usually discriminated in everyday life. We are organizing of the Association Youth Plantogether is to integrate these people into society, to bring together youth and adults, who are not from the orphanage and live in ordered family structures.
 
European Roma and non Roma culture: We want to extend the ways of thinking and the patterns of acting of the children and the youth of the orphanage, through the medium of European values and culture. They get to know people from other cultures and develop new ways of looking at life through the international exchange,. 

Main Projects / Activities

The association helps the Roma and non Roma living in extreme poverty. People who are struggling, who are orphans. The base of our work is to provide leisure activities, youth events and life issues with the aim to build up a self-running and financially independent youth work in the Region of Harghita, Romania. The young volunteers have been working here, who have committed themselves to work here with the children and the youth for a certain time. In a team of full-time and voluntary colleagues, honorary colleagues and international volunteers, we offer weekly programs, including language lessons, hand crafting, sports and excursions into the countryside. We dispatch young volunteers from Romania to other European countries, and we accept volunteers from all the European Union’s countries in our circle of colleagues. As a yearly highlight, we organize international youth meetings in the summer and winter holidays.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

In order to be able to effectively develop your country site as a platform, resource, and network for youth, and to help facilitate the process of getting members involved with ALF, it is important for you to be able to understand all aspects of our  country site. Our  region  site features quick facts and reflections on local cultures and traditions, community projects, inspirational members, artwork, upcoming local events, active organizations and opportunities. As you go through each section of the site, think about the things that you feel need to be done in order to make it more relevant for youth in our  country.  Another way to get involved is to inform other young people in all word and our  country about your country site and show them how they can benefit from being a part of the online community.These activities can inspire them to action by getting involved in their local community.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

This is the main reason cultures  networks were created, so people can meet and find new friends for all word. We  believe they would not survive without a national or international affiliation; others have apparently never considered the option of joining.The left, on the other hand, argues that it fosters grassroots culture in young people and increases their voice. WE also pose the idea that CULTURES  have argued that placing such a strong emphasis on civic participation could actually turn people away from becoming politically involved. In other words, youth can get together and talk about goals and beliefs, but as soon as one person brings up voting or lobbying, people start to leave WHIT ALF partners. Thesejoin  point out the reality  with work ALF , family, and other social activities, CULTURES, that they do not care for politics and civic engagement as much as scholars would like to think. We are   motivation to partake in such civic engagement activities whit ALF organisation. This importance of trust, according to ALF organisation , is due to the fact that people in a type of membership association share similar values and views and learns more about each other each time they all come together for meetings or socials.
