We had the special honor of Hiseatitude, Teoctist, Patriarch of the Romanian Orthodox Church, blessing this first shipment. DIRECT RELIEF INTERNATIONAL was so impressed with the high degree of publicity that was generated for them by our collaboration, that they have confirmed that additional donations are to be made through our Foundation for other Romanian hospitals.
