Candle Light Vigil

On december 9, 2007 we had a candle Light Vigil in the central park of Chisinau.

This event was consacrated to the victims of Domestic Violence. NPW Volunteers participated at a "16 days against domestic violence" and delivered trainings on Domestic Violence and Gender Equality.

Candle Light Vigil gave a possibility to different organizaitons to present their work and how they can help victims of domestic violence or to teach others how to prevent domestic violence situation.

People in Moldova just need a small help to be able to defend their rights and to stand for what they believe. We as a team teach others what we know and we realy hope to help people understand that they have the power to say NO or to stop something that they don't like!!!

Hey Costea and Olga you did a great job with the role play!! Many people understood our message due to this role play!

Vlad and Vika you also did a great job! We all were afraid of speaking in front of people,but you did it great!!!!

All the volunteers did a great great job!!!!! We are the best volunteer's team!!!! and we are proving it every day!!

Meeting with SSL graduates

After Summer School for Developing Leadership skills (SSL) we were staing in touch with the SSL participants. It was amazing to see how their lives are changing as a result of 1 week Summer School! They are more opened, confident in what are they doing! They are looking for more opportunities here in Moldova and not abroad!

Also many of them managed to do seminars in their villages and show other people that even in Moldova you can have a better life and be successfull.


We had a meeting with all the girls in October in Chisinau. At the meeting we saw how much their life changed and that now all the girls have at least 1 goal to accomplish. Many of them had as a goal to enter to university and succed! Some of them found a part time job and are volunteers at different organizations! A few girls already worked as conselors at a camp during summer and used our information to teach others.


I can say only one thing: WE WORKED A LOT during SSL!!!! But now we can see our results!!!! It is great to be able to make a difference and we did it!!
