The year 2017 represented for our TON - a year of celebrating the 5 years since we operated under these auspices (bringing together the experience and expertise of a Romanian-Belgian collaboration for over 28 years). New member organizations have been set up, new informal groups have joined the network, projects have been developed, we have responded to the needs of local communities or directly to our members. TON network operates from person to person and from organization to organization. We note the special activities in the Network: the spring trainings, TONNE National Meeting, the project in the health department (done with great help/and many bicycles’ - from the Belgian partners and local communities), the RE-InVEST socio-financial research project - these are activities initiated by TON and implemented directly by our Foundation.
