Ungheni district pays for 400 day-camp places for children: who goes free and what everyone else pays

Ungheni District Council opened the second session of the “Prietenia” (Friendship) camp on 6 July — a “day camp” for children, in Ungheni and Măcărești. Behind the ceremony lie concrete figures that matter to parents: 1.26 million lei from the district budget, 400 places spread across four 10-day sessions, free for children from vulnerable families and a 15% fee for everyone else. The programme has become the district's main form of organised holiday after the “Codreanca” camp was liquidated in February.

Valea Mare village carves an oak troiță of memory for its war heroes and deportees

In the commune of Valea Mare, Ungheni district, local craftsmen are carving a public troiță — a wayside memorial cross — out of oak beams, dedicated to the villagers who fell in the two world wars and to those deported in 1941 and 1949. The monument began with an October 2024 decision of the communal council and is paid for from the local budget. The work is still in progress, but several answers are missing: how much it costs, when it will be finished and the final form of the dedication — the town hall has not made them public.

“The Book of Memory” preserves the face of Teodor Șișcanu, deported from Măcărești to Irkutsk in 1949

In the summer of 1949, the Soviet regime seized an entire family from the village of Măcărești and sent it more than 5,000 kilometres away, to the Irkutsk region. One of the deported children, Teodor Șișcanu, survives in an archival photograph published in The Book of Memory (Cartea Memoriei) — the official catalogue of the victims of totalitarianism. In the Ungheni district, the catalogue gathers around 2,900 names, and for those seized in 1949 the collective “address” had a single name — Irkutsk.

At the Martyrs' Cross, Ungheni residents mourned the victims of Stalinist deportations

On Monday, 6 July, marking 77 years since the largest wave of deportations, dozens of Ungheni residents gathered at the Martyrs' Cross of the Nation, white flowers in hand. A memorial service, a moment of silence and a monologue about a night that has not ended yet. District council head Dionisie Ternovschi called keeping the memory alive a moral duty of every generation.

America Turns 250. What Connects It to Ungheni — from an Oscar to a Fire Station

On 4 July, American Corner Ungheni marked «Freedom 250» — 250 years since U.S. independence. Behind a one-day reception, however, lies a story few people in Ungheni know: a screenwriter born in Ungheni wrote «The Apartment» and won an Oscar in Hollywood; in 1877 the Russo-Turkish war passed through Ungheni station, and an American officer wrote about it; from the old market town people left for New York and Philadelphia. And over the past three decades, America has left concrete traces — from bus stops and a fire station to an «American Corner» in the library. A documented inventory of what has been confirmed and what remains legend.
