The Poiana Teiului community in the county of Neamț, Romania, recently had reasons to celebrate. The occasion was the completion of the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) project, “A Digital School in the Country.”
Through this project, ADRA Romania contributed to improving the educational conditions for the 372 children enrolled in the Iustin Pârvu Gymnasium School in Poiana Teiului.
ADRA Romania purchased information technology equipment for an innovative approach in the field of education. They sought to expand the use of information and communications technology in teaching-learning-assessment activities. The new equipment for classrooms paves the way for digital learning as an alternative, becoming an interactive and attractive means of study.

ADRA Romania, with the support of a single sponsor, has proposed and successfully achieved the improvement of living conditions for local children and residents, the organization leaders reported. The implementation of the ADRA project was coordinated by Willy Cotruță, Bogdan Stănică, and Gabriela Istrate.

In recent years, ADRA Romania has experienced an unexpected development through dozens of projects implemented for different categories of people, Pîrlitu said. “All of this was done because the team is made up of people with vision, [who are] generous and empathetic.”
ADRA Romania executive director Robert Georgescu agreed.

Ancuța Vasilica, director of the Iustin Pîrvu Gymnasium School in Poiana Teiului, said that when the project was launched, she had high hopes that students in rural areas would also have high-level technological tools. “Being in a continuous process of digitization, we have reached high standards with the help of ADRA,” Vasilica said. “We thank them from the bottom of our hearts for the initiative, involvement, dedication, seriousness, and effort!”
