Reporter: Mihaela Buculei - Now that the Easter holidays are approaching, efforts are being made to make these people, who have fled the path of war, feel the joy of the Lord's Resurrection. On behalf of the Bucovina Emergency Situations Inspectorate of Suceava County, Captain Alin Galeata.

Alin Galeata: We are now in the mobile camp in Radauti, where 60 people are accommodated. We thought of mobilizing everyone, and today, probably tomorrow too, we will challenge the 19 children in the camp to go on an egg hunt, and then compete in painting them in the workshop created in the playground made especially for the little refugees and managed by the volunteers of the "Save the Children" organization. Obviously, the children, but also their parents will be co-opted in the team to those who will cook the specific goodies, including the decoration of the Easter basket. After we go to the religious service, on the night of the Resurrection, to the church located in the immediate vicinity of the camp, on Sunday we will all sit together, in this kind family, and we will have a special meal.

Reporter: Therefore, the refugees in the camps in Suceava County will also have dishes and traditions specific to the Easter holidays.
