"I brought back enduring connections with colleagues and friends and a resolve to return to reconnect and continue to explore the hidden corners of Romania and maybe find my own special spot in a secluded 'sat.'"
The Fulbright Program’s mission to support democratic values, institutions, and efforts to promote understanding among all people around the world is more relevant and important than ever in these tragic times.
Fulbright alumni from all over the world continue to work as hard as they can to advocate, educate, and serve. Meanwhile, in Romania, NGOs, associations, universities, companies, hospitals, and ordinary citizens like us all have come together to help Ukrainian people who are forced to leave their country and are trying to cross the border and seek refuge in Romania.
The Romanian-U.S. Fulbright Commission invites Fulbright alumni and friends to support the humanitarian aid efforts by the civil society and the Romanian authorities. You can help by donating funds to organizations in Romania working with refugees, signing up as a volunteer, donating emergency products and equipment, encouraging your local communities to donate blood, sharing verified and useful information for Ukrainian civilians about seeking protection in Romania.
Please see below a list of trusted ongoing initiatives by the Romanian authorities and civil society.
