About Bridge of Love

Bridge of Love is a nonprofit organization with a mission to provide comfort and hope to Romania's abandoned children. It has been instrumental in placing more than 40 children in Romanian homes with loving foster families. Bridge of Love provides ongoing support through its professional Romanian staff including a director, social workser/teachers and a psychologist. Volunteers from the United States travel to Barlad, Romania annually to provide a summer camp for the children and participate in other service activities, and to deliver needed clothing, toys and supplies. The foundation's Bridge to Success project provides support for older teens and young adults who were abandoned as children as they transition to life outside of an orphanage.
