Pictures from a Moldova Daycare Center

CRS regional information officer for the Europe and the Middle East was in Moldova recently and sent back photos of children she met at a daycare center. A brief report follows the pictures in this post.

Moldovan children at a daycare center run by Sister Maria Tolledo. Moldova is one of Europe’s poorest countries and people there are vulnerable to being trafficked to other countries. When children are trafficked, they are often forced to beg.

As a personal project, not an official one, CRS staff in Moldova–along with their families in the US–contributed money to the daycare center so its old and broken windows could be replaced, keeping the center warmer in winter.
