Hola,
You know what..haha this wont make sense but Im gonna type it anywayz....I feel like this week has kinda dragged but I can't believe that its Thursday already ---> time flies!
OMG!Last nite I watched a documentary about intercountry adoptions and it was really really sad!I was literally crying my eyes out half way through. It really makde me realise how lucky I am! It showed the stories of 2 couples (USA and UK) and 1 woman(UK) about their struggles with adopting kids. The situation in Romania is just totally inhumane - they secretly filmed an institution where kids were tied to cots. There was a 9 yr old girl tied to a cot and she had been trying to bite away the rope/string but bitten into her arms....aww God its just...totally not right and the kids are looking at you helplessly and all they need is LOVE, WARMTH and CARE...they have never been stimulated to be able to develop their motor skills...it really is sad and so upsetting.
I dont wanna sound like idealist and say I wanna help all these kids and then sit around and do nothing about it.
I have been thinking about volunteering in Romania ever since I watched a documentary when I was about 12 or 13. It really touched me and what I watched has stayed with me ever since. I know I would love to volunteer there...Im not sure when because I dont have the money at the moment..But this is something that I have wanted to do from a young age and just to spend time with these kids....It's really touched me and I'm determined to do something about it!
One of the stories was really upsetting again..a couple frm the USA who already had 2 kids of their own adopted 2 more kids from Siberia. Unfortunately the boy Dimitri rejected their love and the couple found it hard to deal with. They couldnt handle it and as a result abused him. It's so cruel what they did..they burned him in hot water and didnt seek medical help and 5 days later he died. It's so hard to believe that people can do that especially to a child who suffered special needs.

I'll tell you what my main aim/goal in life is to dedicate my life to helping others...I really want to work with kids in some way possibly through art.
