Some of the most disadvantaged children in Europe - the Roma children of Cold Valley village in Transylvania - had the opportunity to attend summer camp this year.
The charitable trust Aid for Romanian Children (ARC) organised three camps staffed by volunteers from the UK. They worked with local villagers to provide a memorable experience for more than 150 children.
The UK volunteers are mainly students and ex-students from Leeds Metropolitan University who each raise around 500 to cover their personal costs and those of five children. This included providing each child with two complete changes of clothing, towel, toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, shampoo and a pair of shoes.
