A group of volunteers from the International Women's Association of Bucharest (IWA) goes to Fundeni Hospital every week to play with the children and hand out toys and donated clothing. This week, the volunteers gave out Easter gifts and toys to the children and their family members prior to the Romanian Orthodox Easter, which will be celebrated on April 27. Dodo the Clown of "Vitamina Vesela" also paid the children a visit and delighted them with balloon animals and magic tricks.
