About<\/strong> Csaba<\/strong> B\u00f6jte:<\/strong> After the 1956 Revolution in Hungary, Brother B\u00f6jte\u2019s father, a resident of Erd\u00e9ly \/ Transylvania, was sentenced to seven years prison. His crime was reciting a poem in private company, after which someone had turned him in to the authorities. After four and half years in prison, he was released, only to die two-three months later. His mother however, continued to actively work for religious freedom and social justice. She studied theology, and in 1992 with the help of many good people, helped her son to restore a crumbling monastery in D\u00e9va (Erd\u00e9ly\/Transylvania), which eventually became a children\u2019s home and school.<\/p>\n

In 1999, the Romanian government transferred official ownership of this building to the Catholic Church. Since 1998, the government had officially acknowledged the work of the children\u2019s home and pledged money toward each child\u2019s maintenance. However, more help is always needed, to cover basics such as food, housing, and the needs of the dedicated staff who work beside the many volunteers.<\/p>\n

Brother B\u00f6jte now heads the mission of caring for and educating children who would otherwise be lost or struggle in extremely dire circumstances. Today, the original building houses more than 400 children, whose heritage includes Hungarian, Romanian, Gypsy, Catholic, Reformed Protestant and Baptist. About half are of Hungarian ethnic identity and their common background is that a parent or guardian requested in writing that they be admitted and raised in God\u2019s name. There is also a kindergarten in Sz\u00e1szv\u00e1ros, and other children\u2019s homes in Szov\u00e1ta, Zsombolya and Sz\u00e1rhegy. Plans are in the works for homes in Torock\u00f3, Szalonta, Kolozsv\u00e1r and Petrozs\u00e9ny. Recently, fifteen young people earned their baccalaureate and fourteen went on to study in higher education.<\/p>\n
