My Personal Message

Hello,

Thanks for visiting my personal fundraising page. In June 2010 I will be returning as a volunteer to work in Hincesti Orpahange in Moldova. This orphanage is home for over 300 girls and young women who have been orphaned or abandoned and who have disabilities. Outreach Moldova (ORM) is an Irish charity which supports Hinceti orphanage. It has been responsible for enormous improvements to the lives of these children and young women, many of whom have, in the past, experienced physical and emotional neglect. From my previous experience as a volunteer, I can absolutely assure you that all money donated is extremely well used. I would very much appreciate your support in helping me to raise funds for this effective charity. The wellbeing of all these children and young women is very dependent on the continued support of the volunteer programme.

A huge thank you to all who attended the fund raising night at the Mill Theatre and those who have made generous donations. A special thanks to a wonderful group of school children who have raised over €500.

I am now selling tickets for a draw. Prizes include two beautiful paintings, and vouchers for shops and restaurants. If you would like to buy tickets at €2 each or €10 for 15, or if you can sell some tickets please contact me at maurasharkey@hotmail.com.

If you would like to donate to my fund raising efforts for Outreach Moldova, you can donate using the "sponsor me now" button via credit or debit card. You can be assured that your transaction on the mycharity.ie website is very secure. You will automatically receive an e-mail from me thanking you for your support, and acknowledging the amount of your donation. Any donation no matter how small is hugely appreciated. You may read more about Outreach Moldova below, or see the website at www.outreachmoldova.org.

Many thanks for your support,

Maura

About my charity

Outreach Moldova (ORM)

OutReach Moldova (ORM) is an Irish Charity that has been working for 10 years with abandoned and orphaned children with special needs in the Republic of Moldova

Mission Statement:

Outreach Moldova is dedicated to providing basic human rights, medical care and social justice for children that have been abandoned or orphaned, children with special needs and children with terminal illnesses in the Republic of Moldova.

Goals:

The goal of ORM is to provide immediate and ongoing assistance where necessary, provide the necessary training and supervision required, assist in and develop long-term, self-sustaining programs that will have a positive and lasting impact in the lives of these needy children and their care givers. We also strive to provide for the communities working with these children

How do we achieve this goal?

We work the belief that each life matters. In partnership with the Moldovan people we hope to change the way people think about and define both “disability” and illness; We hope to break down and end the internalized shame among people with disabilities; and promote the belief in society that disability is a natural part of human diversity in which people living with disabilities can take pride.

Vision:

ORM’s vision is that each person who is physically, mentally or socially disadvantaged deserves to be given special treatment, education and appropriate care required by their particular condition regardless of circumstance.

Core Values:

  • Collaboration and Cooperation with those who share common goals
  • Organsiation and Openness to provide for those in need
  • Respect for human dignity
  • Enhance quality of life through appropriate care
  • Value the input of those who want to help and hear all voices
  • Assist wherever possible and advocate human rights
  • Learn from those around us
  • Understand that no one person can make a change, it takes an entire community
  • Enable those whom circumstance has managed to disable
  • Strive for sustainability
