In 2004 he was involved with an American organisation in a project called the “Micro Kids programme”. It was a Christian programme where they went into different regions affected by flooding. It was like a Sunday school side-walk and they had clowns, costumes and a lot of different shows for children. In the build up to this, he participated in different classes for 4 months where he learnt how to deal with children, how to understand children’s needs and how to react to situations i.e. if the children started arguing or fighting with each other etc. It was a programme where children could enjoy music and contests with prizes. They also had educational lessons where they taught the children how to wash their teeth, face and hands and some other Christian lessons. This programme ran for 2 and a half year and they had 1 or 2 shows every week. Florin has also taken adult education classes in computer science and for social worker skills.
