The romanian civilization, cultural and ethnogenetic space, coresponds to a great extent to the Northen-Balkan Thracian space that covers a large part of Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, between the middle Danube in Pannonia, the Carpathians of Slovakia, the Balkan Mountains and the Black Sea.
In Romania, Braila is a port where the Danube is spliting in two pieces, in South-Eastern part of the country.

 At the begining, the Computer Club Children project seemed to be a fantastic dream of two nonguvernamental organizations:Children's Help Net FDN, USA  and Andrea FDN , Romania.There were contacted the Department for Child Protection from three Romanian towns ( Bucharest, Sibiu and Braila) in order to fulfill this dream. So, these public institutions of childcare cooperate with some schools in Romania to accomplish the project which was very successful.
The opportunity of collaboration with Children's Help Net FDN, USA, that donated 100 computers ( from AT&T), created the first step of the plan of developing a nationwide network for training in this field.
Children's Help Net was founded by parents who share the bond of having successfully adopted children from Eastern Europe. During this experience, the founders became keenly aware of the plight of children in that region of the world and the need for projects and programs designed to promote child welfare. This way was found in Bucharest the "St. Nicolae" Orphanage that shelter orphan or abandoned boys. With the financial and technical support from the United Nations Development Programme, it has been realized the first Computer Club in Bucharest on August 2000, then in Sibiu in April 2000, and  in November 2000, in Braila, at National College "Nicolae Balcescu",  and 'Panait Istrati' High School (in the image). There are now six Computer Clubs  in Romania.
The children involved in this project are supposed to get many possibilities: Internet access, Windows Office 2000 utilities to learn and to help them to get a good job at the age of 18 and to socially integrate them, considering the fact that the target group involved children from orphanages. images16.jpg (2684 bytes)
