A bowl of Easter eggs at Children's Village Bucharest, Romania.
Ms Katerina Ilievska from the charity in Macedonia spent Easter in Romanian. This is her experience.
"At first it seemed that Easter in a foreign country would be a lonely experience. But, after spending the holiday together with the children and SOS mothers from SOS Children's Village Bucharest, I realized it didn't feel close to being home. It felt as if I were at home. It all happened on Easter in 2005."
"All Romanian households look very special on Easter Sunday and the village is no different. All houses were neatly cleaned, bright and full of some new energy. The children were especially excited with all the visitors."
"The children had prepared a short show for their SOS mothers and friends. First the youngest ones did a hopping bunny and duck dance, then a child sang a beautiful Romanian folk song and it ended with a ballet performance. In one word: superb!"
"Later we enjoyed a traditional lunch in the afternoon, with a relaxed atmosphere and great Romanian food, traditional folk dancing and surrounded by smiling children. This was the perfect way to spend Easter. It felt like ... home."
