“Even though we are going through this difficult time of the pandemic, I am very happy that I managed to be there in Pforzheim this year and to support this beautiful campaign by the Romanian community here. Every year I proudly participate and on these occasions I promote the traditions, hospitality and gastronomy of Brasov in Germany and through such humanitarian actions we generate positive news about Romanians in diaspora and Romania in particular. Our country must be perceived abroad as an excellent European destination, both in terms of tourism and economic investment, said Cristian Macedonschi, President of the Smart City Brasov Association and an active member of the German-Romanian Society in Pforzheim.
In addition to the products from Brașov, the members of the association also brought Romanian cakes, jams, pastries and syrups that they had made to support this action.
All products offered were sold in less than 5 hours and generated a total of 1,500 euros, which was donated to the German association “Menschen in Not / People in Difficulty”.

I would like to thank all sponsors and partners for the generosity with which they help us every year to promote the positive image of Romania. A special surprise was the gingerbread personalized with the logo of our organization. Following this action, we managed to collect the amount of 1,500 euros, which we will donate to the association “People in Need”.
