In Baia Mare s-a deschis primul centru de zi pentru copiii cu nevoi speciale cu dotari precum cele vazute doar in documentarele de pe Discovery.

Centrul se adreseaza copiilor cu comportament dificil, copiilor cu autism, celor autoagresivi si cu deficiente vizuale si auditive.

O masa calda pentru 40 de copii

Centrul face parte din proiectul de inchidere a Caminului Spital din Sighetu Marmatiei, proiect finantat prin Programul Phare „Copiii mai intii”, al Uniunii Europene sub egida Consiliului Judetean Maramures. Este primul centru pentru copii cu nevoi speciale din Maramure, deschis pe strada Luchian nr. 29, din Baia Mare, fiind o colaborare intre DGJPDC Maramures si Fundatia Hope and Homes for Children Romania. "Centrul de zi pentru copii cu nevoi speciale este un serviciu de preventie a institutionalizarii, a abandonului familial si a abuzului asupra copiilor si ofera programe de recuperare si stimulare multisenzoriala individualizate pentru nevoile fiecarui copil in parte, sprijin educational suplimentar copiilor si famiilor lor pe linga cel oferit de formele de educatie conventionale, sprijin pentru reintegrarea in comunitatea persoanelor cu nevoi speciale", ne-a declarat Reka Filip, refernt relatii externe HHC Romania cu sediul in Baia Mare. De serviciile acestui centru vor beneficia 40 de copiii cu nevoi speciale din comunitate si din serviciile alternative, in functie de cerinte. Vor fi impartiti in doua grupe, dimineata si dupa-amiaza, si vor beneficia de o masa calda. HHC Romania a facut integral investitia capitala de reamenajare si dotare a sediului in care va functiona centrul de zi. Cladirea are sapte incaperi pentru activitati terapeutice, o bucatarie si o sala de mese, trei incaperi pentru depozitare si patru grupuri sanitare. Echipamentul este profesional, provenind din Marea Britanie, acesta fiind de asemenea contributia Fundatiei Hope and Homes for Children Romania, adus in Romania cu sprijinul Rotary International.

Danish childless couples can once again adopt a child from Vietnam. Denmark and Vietnam have signed a binding agreement on adoption after the Vietnamese authorities tightened up their adoption law last year due to a number of corruption cases.

Danish childless couples can once again adopt a child from Vietnam. Denmark and Vietnam have signed a binding agreement on adoption.

The Vietnamese authorities tightened their adoption laws last summer. It happened after a series of corruption cases involving children who were bought by poor parents and sold on to France, among others, for a large profit outside the official channels.

Over the past five years, the police have uncovered several criminal networks that have traded with up to 200 Vietnamese children.

As the first country, Denmark has entered into an agreement that ensures that all procedures and rules are complied with and that there are permissions from all relevant parties prior to an adoption, says head of office Michael Jørgensen from the Directorate of Civil Justice.

UNICEF Engages Edelman to Promote 50 Years of Celebrity Goodwill

Share with LinkedIn

LOS ANGELES, May 5 /PRNewswire/ -- The Los Angeles office of Edelman, the

world's largest independent public relations firm, has been retained by the

U.S. Fund for UNICEF to promote the 50th anniversary of the Celebrity Goodwill

Framework for a Plan of Action Implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child Seeking Family-based Alternatives for Children who are Abandoned or at Risk of Abandonment Regional Seminar for Eastern & Central Europe Sofia, Bulgaria, 28 September - 2 October 1992

. 

"Compliance with Hague Convention As noted in the preamble to the Hague Convention, States which are signatory to the Convention recognize that the child “should grow up in a family environment, in an atmosphere of happiness, love and understanding” and that “intercountry adoption may offer the advantage of a permanent family to a child for whom a suitable family cannot be found in his or her State of origin”.

Article 2(b) of the proposed law acknowledges this principle. However, Article 2(e) includes language which adds “or cannot be cared for appropriately”. Additionally, Article 45(2)(b) states that international adoption may be allowed only if “the child cannot be appropriately cared for by the public or private services for the special protection of the child.” Such provisions, which allow for children to be cared for in public or private institutions instead of being adopted internationally, would seem to conflict with the basic tenets of the Hague Convention, and may thus result in an inability to fulfill Article 62, which provides for the issuance of a certificate “indicating that the adoption complies with the norms set by the Hague Convention.”

Therefore, Ethica respectfully suggests that Article 2(e) be changed to remove the clause “or cannot be cared for appropriately”, and that Article 45(2)(b) be removed from the law entirely."
