Two day ago we watched a movie called Hand Held it is about the photographer Mike Carroll and what did he do in Romania . He was one of the first photographers to travel to Romania after the fall of the communist regime of Nicolae Ceaușescu in 1989. His photographs and heart wrenching stories of the pediatric AIDS epidemic in Romania ran in the Boston Globe and New York Times and opened the eyes of the western world to the plight of Romanian children. His corporate clients have included Disney, Compaq, Malden Mills, Beth Israel Hospital, University of Massachusetts Medical Center, Boston Children's Hospital, American Express and General Motors Corp.
This photo for a kid that died and his family is burying him. - Bankrupt hospitals, closed-down operation rooms, poorly paid doctors and nurses, inadequate patient care and widespread corruption predominate in the Romanian health service 20 years after the restoration of capitalism.This what is going now in Romania .
It's not good but it is better than it was when Michael first arrived. And the plight of the orphans is a lot better, there are fewer and they are much better taken care of. There are several orphanages that are sponsored entirely by other nations. And they do have more than two needles a year for patient care! The work is far from over.
