Lauren Fishbach (Fundraiser for Tutova Clinic, Romania)

Lauren served on a Global Volunteers Romania program with her mother in March of this year. She grew very close to the children of Tutova clinic and as soon as she returned home, she began researching different ways in which she could help individual children with specific medical conditions as well as the group as a whole. Lauren spread the word about the need at Tutova clinic and inspired several people to make donations for this program or to become Romania Sponsors. Lauren went back to serve on another program in July and upon her return held a very successful fundraiser that will enable Global Volunteers to continue providing financial support to the Tutova program. This support mainly includes paying for food and salaries of additional staff to care for the children at the clinic.
