Piranda is a Romanian word that means "gypsy girl." This word is unique in the fact that it isn't derogatory. It actually is complementary giving the connotation of a beautiful and elegant girl. Although, most people generally do not use this word for the general Roma populations. We, however, at Piranda believe that God has created these people in his own image and beauty ,and they deserve to be given Dignity through an honest occupation, to be offered Hope for a better life now and an eternal Hope in Christ, and to be taught about the Faith that radically saves them from their sin.
