TRAIL OF FRIENDSHIP VISITS ROMANIA

The ROM Trail of Friendship 2012 Southeast Europe in July was an amazing adventure pursued by the Forum for Leadership and Reconciliation (FLR) and Renewing Our Minds (ROM) team consisting of Martha S. Weiss, Brett McMichael, Minela Pervanovic, Mihaela Kovacs, Bojan Ruvarac, Marko Stupar and Tihomir Kukolja. We visited nine countries and met with 200 friends, mostly ROM and EDS/EDI alumni, their families and friends. We ate with them, talked with them, asked many questions, visited their places of work, service, worship, and stayed in the homes of some of them. This video postcard features the five days we spent in Romania at the beginning of July, visiting Timisoara, Sigishoara, Cluj-Napoca and Bucharest. We are hoping to come with the video highlights featuring other eight countries we visited soon.
