Buftea Community Center Partner: Habitat for Humanity Assocaition Goal: To support the sustainable development of the disadvantaged community in the Buftea area The project coordinated by Habitat for Humanity in the Buftea area has been engaged since 2018 to build a sustainable and resilient community for disadvantaged children. It is a large-scale project that has evolved in different stages. In 2020, Habitat for Humanity Romania inaugurated the Bufkids Educational Center, built in 2 years with the help of PENNY and volunteers. We joined the project as a main partner, under the slogan "Education builds the future", and in addition to financial support, the company mobilized employees to come to the site in teambuilding, to get involved in the construction stages of the center. In January 2022, work began on the second building, which will consist of a kitchen and cafeteria. Hot meals will be prepared and served there every day for the beneficiaries of the Bufkids Educational Center. The canteen is to be inaugurated in 2024. As part of the project, 63 PENNY volunteers helped in 2023 with the construction works for the Canteen, during 2 volunteer events. Thus, in August, 33 Penny volunteers helped on the site at plasterboard cladding, grouting and reinforcement workshops for the structure of the connecting body. In September, 30 volunteers helped on the construction site to apply decorative plaster and continue the workshops inside.
