Casa Tabita
The Casa Tabita is a small, Christian orphanage located in the city of Bocsa in Western Romania. Several years before it started a man named Daniel, and his wife Rodica, periodically took orphans into their home for short visits. They began to dream about building a house where they could provide permanent accommodations for these children and where they could raise them in a Christian environment. Not long after this a lady from a Romanian Baptist church in Los Angeles heard about their dream and partnered with them by providing the funding to buy a house for this purpose. Another friend made it possible for the house to be remodeled and made functional as an orphanage. The building, which is now owned by the local Baptist church, was dedicated in the fall of 2000 and shortly thereafter 10 children were brought from government-run orphanages to live there. All of these children have been abandoned by their parents. The children comprise two different sibling groups, one of five and one of four. The oldest girl does not have any siblings at the orphanage and she has AIDS. The children are taught about God, are involved in church activities, and attend local schools. Five employees help Daniel and Rodica to keep the home functioning smoothly. There are no plans to bring in more children due to not wanting to destroy the "home" environment. Although the Casa Tabita has operated successfully until this point, funding is always a scarcity. Daniel phrases it this way: "The problem is that the money that I am raising is not enough, but the great thing is that the grace of God is enough." Kidstown agreed to come alongside the Casa Tabita and to provide some funding which will help the leaders care more effectively for the children. Daniel said that they depend on God and on God working through His people.
