In Europe's poorest country, Moldova, up to 30,000 children have been abandoned as their parents emigrate to Europe to find work.

Moldavian people are very intelligent and hard-working. They don't deserve all this misery.

I salute and respect those children. They seem more responsible and mature than half of the adults around the world.

The young girl is so mature and strong, respect!

This country is a gold mine of human potential. Corrupt politicians are sucking its blood and fearful investors hesitate to evaluate it to its true value. Sooner or later Moldova will meet its fate and will become a prosperous country again...it's inevitable...all they need is patience, hope and ambition

@RainfulPhenix cauta pe google 'bugetul pe judete'.Orasele platesc.Satele sunt niste fraieri, vreo 30% din populatie pe care nici Dumnezeu si duhul sfant nu o sa ii scoata vreodata din cacat, indiferent de cine voteaza.Insa se duc comunistii, le dau un kil de zahar, promit doi lei la pensie si sclavii voteaza si ne incurca socotelile la toti,

@Olengher Cum ceri tu sa beneficiezi tu de taxele si de munca altora.Du-te la guvernul tau si intreaba cati bani strang ei de la primaria din sat si cati cheltuie.Du-te si intreaba si cat strang de la Chisinau si cat cheltuie.In Romania a dat ANAF rezultatele pe judete.Bucurestiul plateste de doispe ori cat incaseaza si face 25% din buget cu o populatie de 10%.Si vii tu, votezi comunistii/socialistii pula mea, si imi bagi mana in buzunar si imi spui cum sa cheltui banul meu, dupa care fugi

@RainfulPhenix stiu un student care sia facut retea acum vreo trei ani si zicea ca au viteza toate retelele.Aceiasi problema o are guvernu Moldovei care o are si guvernu Romaniei.Banii.Puneti in pula mea lacat pe comunitatile astea care se duc la fund, plecati toti, nu are nimeni nimic cu voi.Dar in spate rame o scoala, o primarie, batrani cu pensii, aia ai cui sunt?Unde sunt parintii tai?Platesti impozit?Le platesti pensia?

Moldova has top speed internet- I agree. It is much faster. However it tends to be limited. I havent came across "unlimited downloads"

Theres always a limit like 16GB and so on. But look at the roads in Moldova, and the flats people live in. I dont think the national service in Moldova is good enough. Theres no council to take care and maintain homes and roads. Everythings erorded and damaged. I would much rather take care of the country and then spend money on fast internet.

@RainfulPhenix si tie nu tie ma rushine?Oricum tara aia nu are nevoie de tine, are nevoie de oameni cu initiativa.A fost boomul cu interneul lansat de studenti.S-au intors din Romania si si-au facut firme de provideri de internet, Moldova e top la viteza de internet in Europa, exact ca in Romania, retele mici, studentesti cu superviteza, Moldtelecom, compania de stat e ultima.

@camzidan bine zis shefule.Spurcaciuni de crestini habotnici vorbesc din Italia de Dumnezeu si comunitatea care o lasa in spate pe pamant s-a dus dracului.Muncesc sa nu mora de foame, nu ca sa aiba un viitor.Asa apar saracii cu loc de munca din vest.Ei se roaga, se duc la munca, ei sunt bine, o sa ajunga in Rai.Si in spate, alta generatie de copii needucati sa fie sclavi la broscari.

I respect that comment you just made. There should be more people like you who see the bigger picture.

The cops are corrupt, thats a fact. You can pay your teacher to give you a degree in medicine too.

Going to Moldova this year left me disgusted at my own country. A lot of people need a wake up call. I'm never going over there to live. No way.
