Painter · President of the Fiți Buni Association
She paints flowers in acrylic and leads the Fiți Buni Association in Caracal, which brings gifts to children in hospital, takes children to the seaside and gives hearing aids to those who need them.
Nicoleta Iagăru paints in acrylic, most often flowers — lilac, peonies, poppies, roses, pansies — but also winter landscapes, the sea and portraits. She is the president of the Fiți Buni Association in Caracal, through which, together with her husband, Father Ion Iagăru, the priest of Caracal Municipal Hospital, she brings gifts to children in hospital, takes children to the seaside, and gives new winter boots and hearing aids to those who need them.
The Fiți Buni Association was entered in Romania’s national register of NGOs in 2020, in Caracal, and since then the campaigns that start from the hospital church are also run through it. Nicoleta Iagăru is its president; the association calls Father Ion Iagăru the initiator of its projects and an honorary member. Among them: the Christmas gifts “Zâmbește! Familia (noastră) te iubește!” for children in hospital, the free camp “Vreau și eu la mare!”, the new boots of “Desculț am fost și m-ați încălțat!”, the hearing aids given together with Audionova and the free hearing tests in the parishes of Olt.
“If their world seems silent, it is our duty to fill it with gestures that speak. And a bicycle, in the right hands, can be the most sincere message of love.”
Every year · since 2014

“Dacă lumea lor pare tăcută, este de datoria noastră să o umplem cu gesturi care vorbesc. Iar o bicicletă, în mâinile potrivite, poate fi cel mai sincer mesaj de iubire.”
“Няма значение дали е празник, или не - при нас се казва “да не оставиш една протегната ръка нито когато ти дават, нито когато ти искат”, каза Николета Ягаро, председател на организацията.”
