2012

Ruth Zenkert and Father Georg Sporschill found ELIJAH

Our community started in spring 2012 when Ruth Zenkert moved to the village of Hosman. With her came volunteers from Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Latvia. More and more children found their home on a rented farm. We satisfy their hunger at a long table and they enjoy the warmth of the house. In the nearby city of Sibiu we have been able to win the Philharmonic Orchestra to play music with our children in the afternoons. With children who were filthy and outcasts. This is where our music school came into being, which spreads joy. Children play and learn whole-heartedly, and forget their hopeless everyday life. Roma, Romanians and the young helpers live together.
