  • Help the Children of Moldova*NEW* I have traveled the world for work for the last 30+ years. I’ve visited some of the best children’s institutions and definitely some of the worst. I have met director’s who do their best to make the lives of the children in their care as safe, warm and nurturing as possible. I’ve met directors who care and directors who have given up. Recently, I traveled to Moldova and with this short plea for help, I would like to share a bit of what I experienced during my visit. The people I met there, were warm, friendly, caring and begging for help. I returned home determined to do my best to make a difference in institutions that need our help so desperately.
