“I strongly believe people who have the courage to act for a change in their communities would have more chances to succeed if they would be aware that their actions matter to the whole society. Financial resources and motivation are essential to starting a project in rural communities, for education, social inclusion or launching a business. However, for a project to generate significant long term impact and to enable further changes for the better, people behind the project need a functional organizational matrix and the faith that their efforts are worthy.
I support PACT Foundation because they assumed this role in the Southern and South Eastern Romanian communities – to show people behind the projects that they are not alone in their endeavor and that their work matters way beyond local borders.”
