The association Universe 2000, with the contribution of all its volunteers, has begun working at this project in October 2008, with the aim to pick up the greatest possible number of toys, food, educational material and garments to distribute during Christmas festivities to a family house located in Guidonia Montecelio (Rome), which hosts disabled children living in Guidonia Montecelio and in its surroundings; to the orphanage Santa Bustina, situated in Marcus (Romania) where 8 children aged 4-8 years live; and to the "Servicii Magura" Complex in Coclea Brasov (Romania) where 50 children aged 3 months - 10 years live.
The collection of material already had good results. The material was picked up in numerous collection points. Lawyer Pagano has personally visited the orphanages in Romania with the purpose to predispose all the necessary to deliver the picked material.
The organization asks a help to face the transfer costs of material to the structures, in particularly to Romania.


The main objective of this project co-funded by the Nando Peretti Foundation is to distribute the greatest number of games,  didactic material, food and toys to the Family Houses of the Province of Rome and to the House in Romania.
