“The summer theatre renovation is perhaps the biggest investment which was made in our village. This is firstly thanks to the citizens who considered this problem as a priority and not the last thanks to CPP who financially supported this project. By now we had investments in different domains, but not in culture. People need to meet and adjust their free time according to their interests. I am sure that the summer theatre renovation wills obligatory lead to a good organization of the free time, to the promotion of the young talents by having here organized different contests, concerts, exhibitions, etc.”

Sergiu Cojocaru, Chief of the District Culture Department from Calarasi:

“The Saseni community had needed this local. We have an active folkloric ensemble, a dancing troupe and generally the village has beautiful customs which have to be conserved. The Saseni village will stand as example for other villages too. I hope they will take over our community’s participatory experience to change the image of their villages. We plan to invite to perform in the summer theatre different artistic troupes from the neighbor villages, to organize competitions on a regional level"

Alexandru Praguza, villager, pensioner:

“It is a realization which united us and changed citizens’ attitude towards the things realized in our village. I personally participated in all trainings organized by CPP and I started to realize how many things I didn’t know and that it is never late to learn something new. I feel so rich with the knowledge gained from the trainings that it feels like I graduated a second faculty"

Fence construction at middle school Nr.3 from Bender

Through CPP a group of citizens from Bender realized a fence construction project at Bender middle school Nr.3. CIG leader, Valentin Bodnar is the director of the institution. The old fence was creating unsatisfying conditions for educational activities of the 240 pupils and 50 staff members. The territory of the institution was being crossed by strangers, animals, thus threatening the health of pupils. People from Bender united their efforts to solve this problem with help of an USAID grant. As result they installed 200 meters of fence, new gates at the entrance and arranged the middle school territory.
