Rebecca Dan Walsh is the founder and director of Casa Shalom. She is originally from Hampstead, Maryland where she was raised on a large farm with her seven brothers and sisters but learned to have a lot of responsibility at an early age.
In 1981 Becky came to Germany as a missionary working with a large German organization. During the cold war and until the Revolution in 1989 she was active helping needy people in most of Eastern Europe.
In 1996 she founded Casa Shalom and for 13 yrs. ran a children's home in Bucharest, Romania.
Now the minstry is trying to help prevent children from being abandoned. We assist families in helping to meet their physical needs and help needy children get proper medical care. We believe that it is much better to help the children stay with their own families and not have to be abandoned.
