How can we help Romania’s neglected orphans?

We found this report very disturbing when we watched it tonight. As the parents of a son with learning disabilities who is well cared for ihere in the UK we felt we should do something.
Is anyone out there directly involved in supporting these people who are, in effect, still the victims of the communist era in Romania?

  • Offering a welcome for all: church accessibility guidance updated | Church of England – The issue of accessibility in church buildings was highlighted for us on Easter Sunday morning. Three wheelchair users and their friends attempted to squeeze into the single pew space created in our church building. The building may be accessible but is it useable for people with mobility problems?. Access to a building that is stacked full of fixed pews and narrow aisles isn't much use to people like my 35 year old son who require flexible spaces to enjoy many activities. Apparently there would be a full scale battle with conservation groups if an application was made to change the Victorian interior to the the building.
    Perhaps this new guide from the Church of England will help them to take up the cause on behalf of those who are unable to do it for themselves.

  • BBC NEWS | Health | Will 'shocking' care be addressed? – As the father of a guy with learning disabilities this lack of care and treatment is quite distressing. Specialist 'learning disability' health teams should be introduced. It's not enough to say it's impractical or expensive – it's not as if we don't know the people with learning disabilities exist.
