1 Introduction
We are 3 students in engineering from the National Institute of Applied Sciences (INSA) of Rouen. In 3 of us, we represent two departments of the Institute (Fine Chemicals and Engineering, and Master of Industrial Risks and Environmental Impacts) and 3 countries (France, Moldova and Romania). So we have a broader vision of our world, which raised awareness and helped us choose a project to socio-humanitarian most interesting.
Our goal is to help effectively and sustainably populations in need and, in particular, children who have not had the chance to enjoy a social ideal for their development. For this we are working with an existing association, Samtoul based in Satu Mare, northern Romania, whose goal is to come assistance to abandoned children in Romania and families in need.
Although small, our project offers hope for many young people who have high expectations of their country's entry into the European Union and close collaboration with member states that it will generate.
Indeed, we want to improve the living conditions of young Noroieni and its surroundings, by providing socio-educational center of the village the equipment needed to eat dishes and other kitchen utensils.

2 Our project
2 .1 The Romania
First, if we chose to engage in a project with a socio-humanitarian assistance for Romania is that we knew quite well that country and its needs.
With its entry in 2007 into the European Union, Romania is in a delicate period of transition or how to move from a dictatorship to a recent free trade policy. The changes involved are brutal and the country needs to be accompanied, assisted by the founding members such as France, to succeed her integration.
In addition to difficulties caused by a weak economy (strong devaluation of the leu, the local currency and low purchasing power), Romania has to manage the problem of the many children living on the street. Many of them have been abandoned or abused, but the country's current situation does not allow him to find effective solutions.
Thus, for successful entry into the EU, Romania needs help and especially from small projects like ours.
2 .2 AsociaĊ£a Samtoul
Association Samtoul (AsociaĊ£a Samtoul, in Romanian) was founded in 2001 by a French, Dominique Auban. Its name comes from the contraction of the city of Satu Mare (Sam), a region of action of the association, and Toulouse (Toul), hometown of Mr. Auban. This combination creates
care facilities for the benefit of disadvantaged young children, set up community centers in villages and sponsors young Romanians. It has been recognized interest. A
Noroieni, the association Samtoul focuses on the development of a socio-educational center, open daily the village children, from January 15, 2007, while continuing to sponsor students or young students, as well as greatly disadvantaged families.

2 .3 The village Noroieni
Noroieni is a small village in north- Western Romania, near the town of Satu Mare (130 000 inhabitants), the Hungarian border. There is a population of 300 inhabitants, of Orthodox, Catholic or Greek Catholic. It also speaks Romanian well as Hungarian.
2 .4 Center
The socio-educational center of the village of Noroieni was created in 2005 by the Association Samtoul. This is a place of welcome, training and education especially for children, which helps improve the lives of young Romanians in the area.
This was established from the rehabilitation of the former "Camin Culural "or the village hall. It can accommodate forty children aged 7-18 years.
Each day a different activity is offered at this center: French courses, computer training, karate, crafts, games and contests. A dance is also held once a month and a movie night twice a month. The center also offers meetings around a guest actor in economic, political or social area.
3 Reflection and conclusion
During the stay in Noroieni was able to share an interesting discussion with Mr. Auban. With experience of over 10 years with the poorest people in Romania, he has seen the country move in all its aspects: economic, social, political and eventually earn his place and join the European Union in 2007. Dominique Auban remark that although Romania does not yet meet the country behind the EU, it is no longer part of poor countries, but countries in the developing world.
Thus, something dear to her heart: it wants longer speak of humanitarian aid for various projects that are supporting his action, but development aid, which will develop projects that best meet the needs of Romania. Indeed, development assistance promotes the growth of people we help so that humanitarian aid is a form of solidarity and charity, without any projection on the long term.
Also note that, because of the country's accession to the European Union, Romania is obliged to implement very quickly a very sophisticated system of standards, although it lacks the number enough experts to deal with this. Thus, institutions such as orphanages or other facilities for children who can not afford to finance expertise and implementation of these standards are doomed to disappear, which could prove disastrous for Youth the country.
Mr. Auban would therefore make future projects on this important nuance. This particular research teams capable of working within a legislative framework, training people with European standards, offering technical advice, without neglecting the financial aspects. Also, we are looking for a group of students interested in taking this project very interesting.
