"Our effort was obviously successful. It was a quite complex exercise, by drawing lines and thinking about entries, people, under perfect safety conditions and the fact that it was in a public place slowed the traffic a little, but the help of the police and city hall, we managed very well, Ioan Fodorut, one of the organizers, stated for eMaramures.

" I strongly believe in the power these young people have to change things in this country. With symbols that change things, with examples, I also believe that things will transform step by step towards what these young people wish for them, for their families, for their future",the mayor of Baia Mare Municipality said.
Another purpose of this event was gathering funds necessary for purchasing clothing and toys packages for several children in family type homes. The packages will be distributed by the students of "Vasile Lucaciu" National College until the end of the week. "
