Voices of Kaláka

Campaign Success!
Our 2018 fundraising campaign for three projects in Transylvanian communities raised over $4,300! These funds will help to build a playground, expand a church hall, and renovate a community meeting space – places where people come together to play, share, celebrate and strengthen village life.

Why Transylvania?
The thread that began centuries ago still ties us to Transylvania. We share a passion for tradition, sustainability, and religious tolerance. We share a belief in the power of kaláka–working together to create change. And many of us share a faith history with Unitarians who live in these villages today.
