23 disadvantaged families from Ruseştii Noi village, Ialoveni district will have the Christmas table plenty of goods. 15 young people from the locality who are established for years in the United States, managed to gather 19 000 lei and donated for this purpose.

The mayor and social workers bought food and gave the money to poor families.

Nicoleta, Cristi and Daniel are under the care of parent nurses who gave them a shelter. Their mother is in jail, and their father died in an accident abroad. Children are among those who have enjoyed overseas gifts.

"Of course we were happy because we live in Moldova and the situation is not so easy. Of course they were happy, there are children coming from an environment ... who did not have the opportunity to have gifts "said Parent Assistant, Gherman Neaga.
