(P) Rustic Feast. The Crop of Good - an evening to discover the South of Romania

For one evening in the heart of Bucharest,PACT Foundation will bring the southern Romanian village to life through a Rustic Feast that revives old habits and traditions all the while giving you the opportunity to contribute to their preservation and well-being. Rustic Feast. The Croop of good is an event that celebrates PACT’s activities and the wonderful people we have worked with in the communities over time, bringing them together with old and new friends, partners and supporters, all who believe that together we can make a difference. Thus, we’re expecting you, on October 9 at Manuc Inn to get lost within the traditional cultural riches offered by the Romanian southern village. Whether you will take delight in traditional dishes, doina rhythms or you will raise a glass to the harmonious sounds of local musicians, the feast will capture you and you won’t even know when you grabbed the hand of the other participants to join the hora. When you come, you will be welcomed by a living exhibition of arts and crafts displayed by the people from our communities, small workshops for old ways of weaving clothes or wicker baskets, making brooms, manually processing wood or modeling clay, handmade folk dolls and many other items inspired by traditional customs and talented people ready to guide you on a journey to discover them. Because this evening is more than a feast, it is a harvest of good deeds, during the event you will have the opportunity to support all these traditional treasures of the village and the people living in harmony with them by participating in an auction and a tombola of special gifts and activities offered by our partners and people from our communities. Whether it's about a reconditioned romanian traditional blouse (ie) from La Blouse Roumanie or one that is reinterpreted to urban ware from Atelierul de Haine, a clay vessel crafted by local masters, an invitation to a fisherman’s evening, a village gathering (the Şezătoarea custom) with the locals, at the end of the evening you can walk away with a souvenir gained as a symbol of your contribution to the rediscovered world of the village. Any contribution that you make is a good deed that we, at PACT, are lucky to have the opportunity to harvest for the communities in which we work. The seed that you will plant on this evening will grow into a croop of good and the people from our communities will have the chance to reap the benefits. With a rich harvest, we will support new initiatives such asthe 12 local projects and initiatives in our communities that PACTis funding this year with 40,000$ through our main program
