Announcements
May 2009 - Ion (2.5 years old) and Daniel (6 years old) are two Roma children, who were born and are living in the poorest neighborhood of Nisporeni town in Moldova. They are from a mixed family: their mother is Moldovan and the father is Roma. Ion and Daniel have other four siblings. All six children are living with their grandparents on the mother?s side, as their parents left for Moscow in search for employment. Their father was sentenced for a crime there and is serving his punishment in a prison. The mother is working illegally to take care of her children. She has various occasional jobs: in constructions, housekeeping, and other areas. She earns very little, but sends everything back home, as in Moldova the small pension of grandparents is the only source of existence of her children. Click here to read the full story. |
