Let’s do it Romania

The British Embassy in Romania has decided to support a wonderful project, which I think will prove that Romanians do stick up for themselves and do care about the environment.

I’ve been telling you about the Let’s do it Romania! project some time ago. Looking at their interactive round-the country solid waste map, I was both pleasantly surprised to learn how many people have contributed to set it up and saddened to see so many beautiful places covered with waste.

So we decided to lend a hand to Ana Maria Hâncu and her team of volunteers and supporters. On 25 September we plan to be on the spot, gloves and boots on, and join other volunteers to clean up a piece of the green, restoring it to its original beauty. If you would like to join the project, there is still time to do so, the deadline for registration of volunteers is 10 September!

You can find out more about the Let’s do it Romania! project from their website and Facebook group. Hope to see as many of you on the 25th of September! Let’s do it Romania!

I joined the British Embassy in 2004, and have ever since
enjoyed one of the most diverse and challenging jobs as a professional
communicator, from partnering up with MTV Romania to promote the UN
anti-poverty agenda to handling Prince Charles’ press conference on a
hill top in picturesque Transylvania. One of the highlights working for
the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has been the introduction of an
internship scheme in the Embassy; we bring along students from various
backgrounds to help us deliver our objectives while they get a unique
opportunity to learn hands-on about diplomacy.
I am a former TV journalist, specialising in foreign affairs, and a
Fulbright scholar. I hold a Master of Arts in Information and
Communication Studies with California State University at Chico.
I am a major cafe latte fan and like to collect hand-painted icons.
My other hobbies include travelling and watching movies with friends,
particularly Quentin Tarantino’s. The latest memorable film I watched
was District 9, a superb science fiction with a social twist – anybody
seen it?
