Desculț am fost și m-ați încălțat!
Every year
“I was barefoot and you gave me shoes!”: new winter boots for children who have never had a new pair. Donors choose a child from a list of sizes and give them a new pair.
These are the years from 2020 on — since the campaigns have also been run through the Fiți Buni Association, whose president is Nicoleta Iagăru — and the years in which her name appears in the campaign’s sources. The association calls her husband, Father Ion Iagăru, the initiator of its projects; the campaign’s whole history, from the first edition, with its photographs and press, is on his site.
