Today, a generous visitor left Copceac to fly home. Her name is Edith and she has led an amazing effort in Germany to help the people of this village.
It all started a couple of years ago when one of the German teachers from our school went to some sort of training in Germany. During her three weeks there, she stayed with Edith. They became fast friends and stayed in touch after the training ended. A year later, in October 2005, Edith and her husband came to Copceac for the first time. After experiencing some of the problems that face the local residents, Edith decided to do something about it.
She organized several donation drives which resulted in new desks, chairs, computers, and clothes being sent to our village. She even made a brochure about Copceac to help explain the situation and how the people of Germany could help.
It was great to meet such a generous person - and I hope to take her up on her generous offer to visit her in Germany.
