Activities

On 26th August the two-member team of Hungarian Baptist Aid was in the flood-afflicted region and provided the needy and afflicted with schoolyear-starting support and packages of exercise books.

Thanks to the support of Hungarian Development Bank the children of needy and flood-affected families can get help for schoolyear-starting in Hernádszentandrás as well.

I have witnessed sea of suffering under the leaden sky of Pakistan. The floods washed away thousands of villages and towns. Roads, bridges and homes were destroyed in every part of the country. From the air saw the growing flood flushing the soul of Pakistan’s economy- more thousand acres of excellent arable land.

The international team of the Hungarian Baptist aid has completed the MDG applications. We received works in several categories.

Zoltán Venczel and Balázs Révész are in Afghanistan now for two weeks and they will officially close the midwife training course. This course trained 22 women for 1, 5 year and now they will be able to perform the delivery and to fight against infant mortality.

The Corvinus University of Budapest organised the NGO Expo this year as well. The Hungarian Baptist Aid participated at this event with other twenty NGO’s.

The Rescue24’s two world-famous rescue dogs and their owner László Balázs visited our ’House of Sedulous Hands’ in Göd, a house which employs disabled people. The 10 year old Döme’s and the 5 year old Aqua’s performance was greatly appreciated.

László Balázs with Aqua, Zsófia Eged with Morris, László Garai with Brutus took part in the International Competition race organized for rescue dogs in the Czech Republic. They all got into world’s front lead.

The Hungarian Baptist Aid in cooperation with other NGO-s initiate law amending in the issue of domestic violence. From the victim’s perspective the laws are not in balance with the jurisdiction.

Thanks to the ministry for foreign affairs invited applications that the Hungarian Baptist Aid won, in 2009 we will be able to continue our medical aid program in Afghanistan.
