Organization in Reghin 

A)   A local council consisting of 3-5 persons is set up in Reghin, where all the applications and needs are dealt with. The council consists of Minister Dumitru and the persons he decides to admit, together with HTLI (Help To Life International) . The council has regular meetings twice a year. 

B)    HTLI in Hudiksvall and can nominate members to the council. All decisions are reported to the HTLI -organization from where means have been decided and paid out. 

C)    The council has a post box or an address where the application can be sent. At least two of the council members do a preliminary study of the applicant to decide whether the need and application are serious or not. 

D)   All applications are registered and treated in order. Each member can suggest changes in the application order in case of urgency. 

E)    The council determines the sort of help if it should be paid cash or in the shape of food and other necessities to the family. The children’s need of schooling must be taken into special consideration. The council is responsible for the family to get help according to the granted sum of money when buying food and other necessities. 

F)    The council’s decision is valid and there is no appeal and it can not be changed, but the council can reconsider it at the next regular council meeting. The council decides if extra meetings are required. The council can ask HTLI in Sweden for help if there are doubts about decisions. 

G)   5% of the money from gifts is taken away and invested in a fund for unforeseen expenses in connection with the work in Reghin. Every used crown must be accounted for to Sweden. 

H)   Wages are paid to the members of the council from Hjälp Till Liv International's organization in Hudiksvall and that does not debit the sponsors´ donations. 

I)      All  gifts that have come to the sponsor organization are distributed according to the decisions made by the council. All payments can be seen on the Internet. 

J)     Each giver gets a password to the HTLI- homepage and can in that way easily follow the family and see that all the money reaches its destination. The help can even comprise other families if a giver gives more to a family than the council finds suitable.

If that happens the giver will be informed about all the families who have been given his or her help and support.

Then it is up to each giver to take personal contact with these families if he or she wants to. Letters and Christmas cards are certainly much appreciated. 

K)   All families receiving help get their sponsors´ names and addresses.

  What criteria are required to be entitled to support? 

1.     Support can only be granted families with children or an individual child in a family.

2.     The family has problems to ensure security of supply and schooling for their children.

3.     A careful study of the family's needs and conditions is carried out by the sponsor council. A package of measures is then established which indicates how much is needed, the size of the support and for how long time. How fast the help should be reduced is determined in connection with the resolution based on real needs.

5.     The council can take measures if urgent needs appear as time goes by. Money is then taken from the fund for unforeseen expenses.
