Development projects April 2005

Upon arrival of the Urgenta team, they discovered all the tools were stolen from the storage room! Without these tools it's really impossible to carry out any planned work.

Eurobiker charity tour and the Children's Hospital Sibiu, Romania

The annual Eurobiker's charity tour will pay a visit to the Children's Hospital on May the 23rd. The German charity organization is currently raising funds and (medical) equipment for a number of good causes. One of these causes is the Children's Hospital in the city of Sibiu, Romania. The Hospital indicated some priority needs to be fulfilled: an ophthalmology outpatient's clinic and an orthopedics outpatient's clinic. To realize one or both clinics, a lot of money and medical equipment is needed. The Eurobiker Association offers aid in raising funds and collecting the equipment.

The bikers will arrive in Arad, Romania via Austria and Hungary on May the 22nd. On May the 23rd, they will present the equipment to the Children's Hospital. This will be covered by the German ZDF television network.
