The Hungarian National Council of Transylvania, the Hungarian Youth Council, the Transylvanian Hungarian Youth and the Providence Charity Organization have organized a multi-organizational cooperative project beginning from June 4, 2010 for the purpose of providing assistance to those who have been impacted by flooding in Hungary. Additional organizations have also joined our effort.

In the past several weeks we have been successful in helping with emergency relief for our fellow Hungarians who have been impacted by the recent floods, organizing both financial and in-kind gifts as well as volunteer work projects. Starting today, a one-week children’s camp is being organized in Várfalva, in the Aranyosszék region, in which youth from Hungary whose communities have suffered from the flooding there will gather together with Transylvanian Hungarian youth. The camp, with over 100 participants, will be followed by a later similar event in Székelykeresztúr in August. You can find reports about our prior relief activities on the www.gondviseles.org web site.

It is well-known that in the recent past flooding has severely damaged many settlements in Transylvania, effecting areas from Magyarlapád to Udvarhelyszék, from Felcsík to Háromszék. However, yesterday’s floods in Bölön (Háromszék county) not only caused severe material damage, but also came with loss of life.

We have mobilized the available human and material resources of our organizations in the wake of this flooding to help those who are suffering. Because our resources alone will not be sufficient for the further assistances necessary to help those in need, we are calling on all those who would like to assist in our efforts in any way possible.

We are collecting financial support with the help of donor organizations, and we would also accept in-kind donations. We guarantee that all support collected will be passed along to those in need in accord with the purpose of this flood relief effort.
