Moldova Prevention

Hi, Gaz here writing from Moldova where i arrived today at our prevention programme gladly unaffected by the latest blast of icelandic volcanic ash.

I am here with the team who work on the ‘escape’ prevention magazine for youth with its 3rd edition now close to completion. We are looking to use some of the time to put a short video together to bring the reality of this countries youth to your attention as well as the role the magazine has and the impact it is making for individuals at risk.
Tomorrow i am speaking at a state school for older economic orphans, you might recall a previous post where i conveyed how most orphans here are not as the result of dead parents and war, but mass economic migration often involving both parents. One orphanage in the city had 74 young people and 73 of these were economic orphans.
I have to do the same talk twice, split between a russian translation and a romanian translation for this country of historical language and that of soviet opresssion.
I have been asked to talk about the dangers of migration and human trafficking across europe and the realities of not so perfect western ideologies and life. That will be a first for me.
I will seek to balance the possibilties of finding job security with housing estates in the british north with 3000 occupants where people dont open their curtains till 10am as there is nothing to get up for with 2/3rds enemployment. Also the erosion of british family life and individualism which kills community.Not a cheery talk, but a realistic one.
It is important to let them know that many of their future peers are in the bondage of sexual slavery and look at how to avoid this.
