The Unwanted Children..

Evening,

About two years ago I watched a remarkable and sad story regarding Bulgaria's unwanted children.  The director Kate Blewett went to what was in other words a institution in Mogilino for those children who were unwanted.  Unwanted by their parents, unwanted by their community and hidden away by the establishment.

Now after a campaign of support and solidarity towards the children from across Europe - with ambassadors and foreign ministers coming face to face with the horrors of Mogilino - the director has gone back to Bulgaria to see what has happened in the intervening two years.  And the transformation in the children's lives has been nothing short of amazing.

They are treated like the humans that they are and that is all that should be expected.  They were treated in a way that people would be rising up, if cattle was treated in such a way.

Shows what can happen when politicians get their arses into gear...
