The Hills Are Alive..With Our Teens.

"We had an amazing time in Pestera. We left at 10 am from Budila and I brought them back at 9pm. Everyone from the church loved the girls. At the end of the trip the girls thanked me and said that they really enjoyed their time and that we should have stayed longer. We went in the cave but the girls were scared to go in all the way. We also made barbecue and it came out delicious. It was a great day!"

Romanians are serious pros when it comes to grilling.
So much beauty to enjoy!

Pestera is a small mountain village 30 minutes outside of Brasov. It has become a favorite spot for FFR for its steep rolling hills with farms set at their very peaks. Being up there you feel as if you've entered the movie Heidi. Often FFR will take volunteers up there to enjoy its beauty, and also explore the famous caves in the area. We so enjoy being able to give these teens to opportunity to get outside their community and see the world. There is so much to learn and see, even in their own county.
