Romanian Orphan

Any given day in Oradea, Romania: 70+ abandoned babies & toddlers left at the hospital.
Over 9000 babies are abandoned yearly,
Over 150,000 orphans in Romania right now,
Around 50000 of these children are in 940 orphanages,
Leaving over 50% with no place to live,
Many of these orphans have a "disease" called Failure to Thrive...
A disease caused by a lack of love and attention, causing the babies' bodies to shut down.

Some footage from my last trip to Oreada, Romania working with Pathway to Joy Ministries...other footage courtesy of Pathway to Joy Ministry. Footage from the hospital and gypsy village...just set to some music.

Made to have lots of children and yet no food or money.. what a sadistic leader he was, also no education for these children so how do they get to climb outof the poverty trap....
