Muddy childhood
This is one of the Roma ghettos in Bulgaria. Near the capital. There, the children live in misery, in rubbish and mud. Forgotten by God? No, forgotten by the state and society. Their problems are never on the agenda. They may wait. And so, day after day, year after year. These little gypsies, I met recently , told me how difficult life they have: poverty, unemployed parents, wooden huts instead of homes, illiteracy.To survive , most are forced to beg or steal.
