During the 20th edition of the Nine O’Clock Gala – “Persons of the Year 2010” – held in January 2011, Alessandra Stoicescu, the President of the “Mereu Aproape” Foundation, received the Special Jury Award. This prize rewarded her engagement in the “Apa trece, Romania ramane” campaign, developed by the “Mereu Aproape” Foundation, which increased awareness among the Romanian population for aiding the victims of the floods from June 2010.

“Apa trece, Romania ramane” was an extensive social initiative in which more than 800.000 Euro was raised. The money was used for the reconstruction of more than 75 houses in the areas heavily damaged by the floods.
