Heart To Heart Scotland | A Scottish Charitable Trust | Helping improve the lives of babies abandoned in Romania

Tenderfoot Trip

The name says it all – as we hope to encourage those who are a bit hesitant to participate on a mission and to take the first steps on a new adventure with God. If you are interested, read on and then come and walk in His steps and join us.

Our focus to date is on the baby hospital in Bucharest caring for sick and abandoned babies. These babies need your love and tender touch. We also visit other aspects of the ministry of Heart to Heart International including orphanages and transition houses. Heart to Heart International have teams as well as staff working all year round in Romania and we shall be working there under their auspices.

Many people of all ages have gone on a short term trip. Each of them talks about the miraculous way in which God has enabled them to go. Many of them also share the dramatic way their experience has changed their life and allowed them to share their gifts and talents with the poor and needy .They have been stretched spiritually physically and emotionally and learned and experienced so much. The children have been a real blessing to them.

If this is something that interests you, please contact us.

Maggy Stewart Trustee		Lesley Cameron Trustee

Elspeth Burgess "I am a retired special needs teacher and have always enjoyed working with children, especially those who need a bit of extra help to achieve their potential -I felt drawn to help some of the young children in Romania"		Wanda Bell "I'm Wanda, a housewife and mother of three. I decided to go to Romania because I felt I could love and care for children and hope to make a difference in their lives."

Wilma Urquhart I'm Wilma, a wife, mother, retired Civil Servant and I am going to Romania because God has given me a heart for children; since the moment I saw Lesley & Maggy's pictures of the Romanian babies and heard of the work of Heart to Heart, I have felt the desire to love, cuddle and nurture these children "Be ye doers of the Word, not hearers only".		Esther McLellan "As a piano teacher and mother of five, I'm very conscious of the love, care and attention which most children in our country receive as a matter of course; I want to give a little of that to some of the children in Romania who are just as special, and who need to be loved just as much."

Louise Thomson "I'm Louise and at the moment I'm a barista in Starbucks with dreams of having my own cafe someday! I'm going to Romania because I want to go and look after the babies and test the water on maybe longer term work along those lines...see where God leads."
