“I write to assure you of our support in your efforts to establish a
National Center and a national presence to advocate for gifted children in Romania. [...]
Our research at our Center had found that talent development is a process that requires both time and effort on the parts of the
schools and families.
Schools can and should be a place where students learn who they are and how to make the most of the gifts they have been given.
[...]
Accordingly, your efforts to provide educational experiences, to train teachers, to provide the right environment for gifted students in Romania will make the most difference.”

Annually we discover tens of gifted kids. Some have, but most of them don’t have the financial capacity to support the cost of their education at sub-cost level.
Nota bene: we are a non-profit with zero employees; we work only with subcontractors and we also don’t add the real costs of our work, which involves many extra-long-hours.
The cost of education for a child per year includes:
• Trainings specially tailored to gifted kids
• Counseling Work with psychologists
• Educational materials
• Parental trainings
• Coaching
• Diplomas
• Events
• Trips

Support us!
You could support a gifted child who has the merits, but has no financial means, and meet him/her personally to
decide and feel before you act.
It could mean a lot and develop the sense of gratitude and pay it forward which is also highly recommended for the education and welfare of the children.
Help gifted children to study at the level of their ability!
Pay it forward!
