Paula Oprea's Visit
Paula Oprea, President of Compassion & Care, an NGO in southeastern Romania, visited the Inland Northwest and was the featured speaker for Transition's Gate on numerous occasions in February 2010. Her primary goal was to update supporters and friends on the work of C& C in Romania and the development of the Women's Center in Ploiesti.
ACN Radio took the opportunity to record and broadcast Paula Oprea as she related stories of her childhood in Romania, surviving the Revolution in her country in 1989 and the transitions in her life which followed these traumatic events.
Two schools in Spokane took advantage of the opportunity to invite Paula to speak in their classrooms. Mead High School and Northwest Christian School enjoyed hearing Paula speak about life in Romania.
