Community & Non-Profit

     Fundația Regina Maria charitable foundation was established in August 2012, by Dr. Wargha Enayati and his wife, Mitra Enayati. Fundația Regina Maria’s aim is to provide medical and educational services for the needy, the former through the first free clinic in Romania’s capital, Bucharest. Besides the free clinic, the Foundation is offering two types of support in the township of Clinceni, on the southwestern border of Bucharest: an after-school program which currently serves some 50 children, and financial support for foster mothers/parents in the same township. Queen Marie of Romania (1875-1938) was the country’s second Queen, from 1914 until her husband’s death in 1927. Granddaughter of two of the most powerful rulers of the time, Queen Victoria (through her son Albert, Duke of Edinburth) and Tsar Alexander II (through his daughter Marie), Princess and later Queen Marie was considered the most beautiful royal in Europe. The English Princess was betrothed to Prince Ferdinand, who was chosen to succeed Romania’s first King, Carol I, whose only child died in infancy. During World War I, Queen Marie rendered dedicated and sacrificial services to the war wounded, and she coordinated a charity foundation, earning her the name of “Mother of wounded.” Queen Marie did amazing work to promote Romania and its people from the time she arrived in the country at age 17 until her death at age 63. Romania owes its current geographic size to this remarkable Queen’s lobbying efforts at the Paris Peace Talks following the conclusion of the great War. Dr. Wargha and Mrs. Mitra Enayati and Queen Marie share an important spiritual connection, namely their Bahá’í Faith. It was Queen Marie’s acceptance of the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh, whom Bahá’ís believe to be the Promised One of all ages, the great Personage Whose teachings will enable humanity to build a new world, that prompted Wargha Enayati to move from his home in Germany to Romania to study medicine in Cluj-Napoca in 1983, at the height of communism and deprivations. He decided to remain in Bucharest following the conclusion of his cardiac residency, establishing a multi-specialty clinic in 1995, Centrul Medical Unirea [Unirea Medical Center], which developed into the country’s largest private health care network, rebranded as Regina Maria Rețeaua Privată de Sănătate [Regina Maria Private Health Care Network] in 2011, following the sale of Dr. Enayati’s majority share in the company to an investment fund and the merger with another large health care company. The rebranding, including the naming of the foundation after Queen Marie, was approved by Romania’s royal family, specifically King Michael, who is the Queen’s grandson. Fundația Regina Maria is a Bahá’í-inspired foundation, meaning that the teachings and values of the Bahá’í Faith are the basis for all its activities. A quote from Bahá’u’lláh’s writings that guides Dr. and Mrs. Enayati in their work for the foundation is as follows: “That one indeed is a man who, today, dedicateth himself to the service of the entire human race.” In 1936, two years before her passing, Queen Marie wrote the following: “More than ever today when the world is facing such a crisis of bewilderment and unrest must we stand firm in Faith seeking that which binds together instead of tearing asunder. To thos searching for light, the Bahá’í teachings offer a star which will lead them to deeper understanding, to assurance, peace and good will with all men.” The Bahá'í Faith is the youngest of the world’s independent religions. Its founder, Bahá’u’lláh (1817-1892), is regarded by Bahá’ís as the most recent in the line of Messengers of God that stretches back beyond recorded time and that includes Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Krishna, Zoroaster, Christ and Muhammad. The central theme of Bahá’u’lláh’s message is that humanity is one single race and that the day has come for its unification in one global society. God, Bahá’u’lláh said, has set in motion historical forces that are breaking down traditional barriers of race, class, creed, and nation and that will, in time, give birth to a universal civilization. The principal challenge facing the peoples of the earth is to accept the fact of their oneness and to assist the processes of unification. [For more information about the Bahá’í Faith, see www.bahai.org] The foundation has two audiences. The first audience includes those it serves, adults who do not benefit from state health insurance, who have no job, and whose living conditions are challenging, children who require educational assistance, those who have been abandoned or are neglected by their parents, and the many children who can but benefit from moral education and sound values, something sadly lacking in today’s world. The other audience includes those who can help to serve the first audience through Fundația Regina Maria, by offering funding, their time as volunteers, used clothing, non-perishable food stuffs, and personal hygiene products.

It would be nice if the logo could convey both a sense of spirituality and the beauty, elegance, and dignity of Queen Marie.
