Nu este vorba despre curaj, ci despre frica de a nu apuca acele vremuri în care România să fie așa cum visăm cu toții.
Ca să ajungem acolo avem nevoie să descoperim realitatea în care trăim.
E nevoie de oameni care au curaj. E important să vorbim despre corupție și despre abuz.
E nevoie să devenim cetățeni de investigație.
Putem fi mai mult decât spectatori.
Și împreună putem rescrie povestea, bucată cu bucată, ca să putem spune din nou: “România, te iubesc!” Paula Herlo, Senior Correspondent and Producer for „România, te iubesc!” („Romania, I Love You!”) News Magazine, delivers every Sunday outstanding journalistic investigations on critical issues concerning Romanian society. The weekly show has been constantly watched for over 13 years by millions of Romanian viewers, who placed it on top of Superbrands news shows ranking.
Paula Herlo has been working with PRO TV News since 1998 and has constantly built a highly regarded professional profile. Her dedication in reporting and designing the News Campaign, Any Idea What Your Kid Is Doing Right Now? would bring PRO TV News the much-coveted International Emmy Award for Outstanding News, in New York, in 2008.
She continued coordinating social campaigns for PRO TV News: There’s Life In Our Blood and I Want Parents, Too led to establishing the National Unrelated Donors’ Registry and modifying the Adoption Act, respectively; Be Healthy, Romania!, pictured the National Health System’s own diseases, and 2014’s Any Idea What Your Parents Are Doing Right Now? focused - for the first time - on the life of the lonely elderly.
Paula Herlo is also an honorary president of the „Dăruiește Viață” (“Give Life”) Association. Backed by campaigns on PRO TV News, the Association raised 40 million Euros, later invested in Romanian hospitals for the benefit of cancer patients.
Part of the money funded the first Molecular Cytogenetics Laboratory in Romania, which precisely diagnoses forms of cancer. Other sums endowed the ICU of Pediatric Oncology Hospital in Timișoara, where a stem cell bank was also equipped.
”Dăruiește Viață” (Give Life) Association is currently finishing the building of the first public hospital in Romania financed entirely by private donations. It will open for patients next year, and it will be the biggest, state-of-the-art Pediatric Oncology and Trauma hospital in Romania. The project gathered together 350,000 individual donors and over 4,000 companies. ”Dăruiește Viață” plans to expand this initiative and rebuild the Marie Curie pediatric emergency hospital in Bucharest, the largest hospital of its kind in the country. When finished, it will too meet West European standards. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
