Camp Hero




Is media for or against us? In what way does the media affect today? How can an article which is written for help change people's destiny?
“The neighbours of the Roma camp in District X brought to our attention that for a few weeks now the people in the community have stopped using the public fountain which was the only water source they had. We went to the camp to investigate this mystery and found out that Viorica, ¨the man of the day¨, built a pipe system that fuels every household with water. The authorities should know, because this is an illegal act and the Roma are basically stealing water from the tax-paying citizens.” - Rome Daily

The journalist goes to the camp to show Viorica the article she wrote and to congratulate her for becoming the camp hero.

Viorica: But in this article you say that we are doing an illegal thing.
Journalist: Yes, but I also helped you get to the authorities and made your problem public. Nobody would have done this for you. You would’ve never get this far without me.
V: But you pretended you were my ally and now you are putting me in an awful situation. You didn’t say anything about the fact that we went to the authorities and tried to solve the problem with them.
J: Yes, but that wouldn’t have been sensational. Nobody would’ve cared. 

“A few days ago the authorities in District X found out about an illegal act done by the Roma community. The mayor decided that the best solution is to evict everybody in the camp to the city’s outskirts. One of the neighbours says: I feel much better now that I know they’ll be gone. What they did was unacceptable in a civilized society.” - Rome Daily

The article was written in the workshop of Roma Heroes project within the application of Erasmus + in Rome .

We Are Unstoppable

What does family, parents and siblings mean to us? What do we do for our family members and what does the family do for us? How can we help each other in life? My story is about my younger brother, I consider him a hero in my life. Gábor is a simple man with a huge heart who is very honest and enduring. His endurance in work makes him a real hero. He works 16 hours five days a week as a cook; he gets up every morning and goes to work because that’s his job. He was 18 when he got a great opportunity to work abroad as a chef, naturally making much more money than here, at home. Had he accepted it, his life would have changed radically, but he didn’t want to leave me and our mom alone. It is just the three of us and we would never leave each other. He has superhuman strength. He moved in with Mom who had to be cared for because of her health, but we never felt that is a burden; we are one and everyone does their bit without complaint – Gábor works, Mom takes care of the household, I s

Loving strictness

  What’s the first thing that comes to our mind when we talk about heroes? Why do we consider someone a hero? Discipline wouldn’t come to most people’s mind first. This story shows, though, how expectations full of love and intentional parenting make heroes out of our parents. To introduce my heroes, I must go back to my childhood…and I am lucky enough to think of my mum and dad as heroes. I was not a good kid at all. I did a lot of mischief, and I was also lazy and self-righteous. Music was always important in my family. My dad is still the organist in our local church. My parents soon noticed my musical talent when I was a child, and they wanted me to improve it. Beside music, improving my school records became my other priority. My parents divided the tasks between them: my dad would assist my musical studies, and my mum would help me better my grades. I found maths extremely difficult, and my mum sacrificed her whole summer to tutor me. Each day she worked with endless patien
