The Order of Malta’s relief corps in Romania organized between 28 May and 4 June a youth camp welcoming up to 45 children and teachers from Kamianets-Podilskyi a city on the Smotrych River in western Ukraine. The camp took place at the Order’s camp facilities located in Micfalău, Covasna County, in the heart of Transylvania.

During their week in Romania, the children had the opportunity to rest, relax, play and enjoy each other’s company sharing laughter and taking part in group activities, sports, handmade crafts, as well as visiting the famous Bran Castle and other sites.

For part of their trip, the children were accompanied by the President of Kamianets-Podilskyi District Council with whom the Order of Malta in Romania has strong ties ever since the very beginning of the full-scale war in Ukraine.

The Order of Malta’s relief corps in Romania – with its thousand volunteers and 100 employees – has in fact made numerous field missions to Kamianets-Podilskyi Rayon and continues to provide steadfast support to the Ukrainian people.
