Her life changed significantly when working day by day, in order
that many children in crisis situations and their families feel
a little bit better. She totally changed her profession and she
truly thinks she found her vocation.
She is managing a team of well trained professionals, whom are
dedicated to their work and whom are confident in a better
future for the children in Romania and for the nongovernmental
organizations.
The syntagm “Every child needs a family of his own” is greater
than any child’s fundamental right or a motto already known in
the whole world, the reason for being a nongovernmental
organization. Livia is a practical and optimistic person and she
believes from the bottom of her heart that Holt Romania – FCSSCF,
through all the great people that have dedicated themselves to
the Foundation’s cause (sponsors, Boards of Directors,
employees, partners, co- workers) still has a lot more to do.
