Our goals:
• To preserve family farming and protect village life
• To protect ethnic lands and provide jobs to young people
• To inspire and assist other economic partnerships across Transylvania.
Our hopes:
• To restore trust between villagers and encourage cooperation
• To help secure economic, cultural and religious freedom in the fledgling democracy of Romania
• To foster a popular movement and to reclaim a social fabric torn apart by totalitarianism;
• To provide hope to both the elderly and the new generation of Transylvanians.
Our work is grounded in a belief in mutuality.
We invite North Americans to share in our efforts.
