BBC: Shropshire soldier (and his wife) bring cheer to Romanian orphans
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-shropshire-59730747"A soldier and his wife are spreading Christmas cheer by delivering gifts, clothing and medicine to orphans in Romania.
Warrant Officer 2 David Hill, who is based with HQ 11 Signal & West Midlands Brigade, at Donnington near Telford, flew to the country after raising £2,500.
The couple have visited orphanages in Bucharest and Bacau for the last 12 Christmases, although were prevented from visiting in 2020 due to Covid-19 restrictions.
Mr Hill said it was "lovely" to bring smiles to the residents and staff."
There's a photo and more text at the link. Finding and reading this story had certainly brought a smile to my face.
