For the fourth time, Caritas Catolica Oradea organized its now traditional international volunteer week between April 9–16. As part of the program, 13 students from the Dutch Melanchthon de Blesewic secondary school, together with several young people from Oradea, volunteered for a week in the social programs of Caritas, under the guidance of teachers Karin Vermeulen and Jan de Jong, as well as program coordinator Tamás Szombati-Gille. They carried out service in nursing homes, orphanages, a homeless shelter and disadvantaged communities under the auspices of the diocesan charity organization.
