Moldovan president visits educational centre for children sick with cancer

Chisinau, 23 March /MOLDPRES/ - President Maia Sandu has visited the educational centre for children sick with cancer, on the occasion of the marking of one decade of the institution’s foundation, the presidential press service reported.  

„Ten years ago, as education minister, I was participating in the inauguration of the educational centre for children sick with cancer. I recall quite well the amalgam of emotions from that time. Today, I visited this institution again and I experienced the same emotions,’’ the head of state said.   

The Moldovan president noted that this educational entity had fulfilled its mission during one decade worthily, nobly and honestly. ‘’It fulfills it through the employees of the centre – teachers who work with physicians, with self-denial, with feelings and co-participation. Due to these people, the children who fight against the disease manage to return to school to their class, to continue their dream, to study in universities and colleges. The teachers manage to be with the parents as well. A piece of advice, an encouraging of teachers and psychologists of the centre help them overcome the tough moments,’’ Maia Sandu said.    

The head of state expressed happiness that we have more people for whom there is no strange sorrow. ‘’I want all children to be healthy, to live their childhood with happiness, without pain, at home, together with the parents,’’ President Maia Sandu added.
