Beacon Partners Casa Albert (Bacau, Romania) “Part of the ‘Sharing the Care’ Vodafone project, Hospice Casa Albert, is a development by the UK charity, Cry in the Dark, and a ‘Beacon Partner’ of Hospices of Hope. Situated in north-east Romania, in the city of Bacau, Casa Albert currently provides community hospice care to children and young people with life-limiting and life-shortening conditions such as cancer, congenital conditions such as muscular dystrophy, and HIV/AIDS.” Emmanuel Hospice (Oradea, Romania) “Situated in north-west Romania, Hospice Emmanuel is another ‘Beacon Project” partner. Founded by Marinela Murg, who trained at Hospice Casa Sperantei, Hospices of Hope have supported Emmanuel with running a training course for doctors and nurses in Oradea and securing funding for the continuing work of the Hospice.” Something for Romania (Cluj, Romania) “Founded in 1996 by Lachie MacLeod MBE, this foundation began by transporting medical equipment and supplies for the impoverished population of Romania. The efforts are now concentrated on raising money to support a local charity providing free palliative home-care for seriously and terminally ill patients.” Future Projects Montenegro “Working with Sinisa Nadazdin from Philia Ministries, Hospices of Hope is exploring ways to provide hospice care patients in need within the country.” FYR Macedonia “The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia currently has no hospice care available for adults and children suffering from a terminal illness. Hospices of Hope (with support from Help the Hospices) are supporting Dr Alex Jakimovski (pictured) in his training in hospice care. Dr Jakimovski began a distance learning Diploma course in Palliative Medicine at Cardiff University in September 2007 and following his graduation from this course, will work alongside Hospices of Hope to begin hospice care provision to terminally ill patients in the capital, Skopje.” Graham Perolls, Executive Director of Hospices of Hope with Dr Alex Jakimovski in Skopje, Macedonia.
