The Birthday Present
Ioana Petrescu Teach for Romania
Shoutout to all who enjoyed the advantages of good education. This year I'm donating my birthday to Teach for Romania.
TFR is an international programme aimed at improving and offering a good education to kids coming from disadvantaged areas (mainly villages). Our overall educational system is pretty full of flaws, with teachers being either underpaid or unprepared (or both), and with kids from remote areas not having access to proper schooling. In the end, they don't even have the chance of dreaming or setting a goal for what they want to be when they grow up.
Luckily I've had the chance of meeting some well-prepared people, that pushed me in a good direction and helped me along the way.
Therefore, if you had a Chemistry teacher taking care of a study group in her free time, an English teacher supporting you to improve your language skills (go figure, I speak it more than my mother tongue), or any other teacher dedicated to his/her job, then you can now show some appreciation to their profession. Support a programme that gives teachers the right tools and kids the opportunity of dreaming and making their dreams come true.
