Changing the lives of children in need: An American woman's humanitarian work in Romania

Eighteen years have passed since Sarah Vienna started her new life in Romania. Here she co-founded Firm Foundations Romania - a nonprofit organization whose mission is to change disadvantaged children’s lives through love and education. But Sarah is also an international speaker and musician and has even written a song about Brasov, the Romanian city that has become her home away from home.

Sarah Vienna (Berchtold) was born in Boston and raised in Northern California. She is now living in the Romanian city of Brasov, where, as co-founder and president of Firm Foundations Romania, is helping transform the lives of many abandoned and neglected children and vulnerable families.
