The IWA Bazaar has evolved into a grand-scale charity event, and this year’s focus is on the noble cause of “Dignity for the Elderly.” As the association reaches its 45-year milestone, it reaffirms its commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of the elderly, fostering a sense of dignity and respect for this cherished segment of our community. Every year, the international community in Romania responds to IWA’s invitation to support local projects in which the organization is involved.

Chairlady Marina Coanda Bundac expressed her enthusiasm for the event, stating, “Our Bazaar is a celebration of diversity, and this year’s edition, organized with the generous dedication of more than 500 volunteers, promises to be a true testament to the power of collaboration and compassion. In alignment with the values of the International Human Rights Day, our event showcases the collective efforts of the community, working together to create positive change.”

President Delia Sfetcu emphases the multicultural spirit of the event, saying, “The IWA Bazaar has been a beacon of compassion and goodwill for over three decades. As we celebrate our 45th anniversary, we are proud to continue our tradition of making a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need it most.”

The IWA invites the public to join this momentous occasion, where the spirit of giving and unity will take center stage. As we celebrate the 31st edition of the IWA Bazaar, let us come together to support the “Dignity for the Elderly” cause and continue building bridges of understanding and compassion.
