Thank you, thank you, thank you

Enjoy your readings. 

Simple, beautiful people, with big hearts and hopes.

The Republic of Moldova is a small country facing serious economic, political, and social problems. The family background is in disarray due to the low financial condition and the high prices that cause the impossibility of raising, and caring for the children in the family.
Parents are forced to leave their children to go abroad to earn money, so their children are taken under guardianship or caretaker by their close relatives. There are other types of situations in which children remain without parental care when parents are deprived of their rights or at worst both have died. Today, a large number of children require protection in the form of guardianship or caretaker.
For the effective development, education of children, the procedure for establishing guardianship and caretaker is carried out through several steps to check whether this type of protection is effective. Implementing future reforms to improve the situation of children left without supervision. Guardianship, caretaker is of great importance for the category of children at risk.
Yet still not much is being done about. Lots of children wondering on the streets of the villages looking to play or just watch the town. Trying to talk to them they run of shyness, watching or just try to hurt, because of lack of knowledge of what to do in such situation

As we can see here, a neighbor trying to explain something to a child who is having hard time to understand anything.

Here we can see a grand mother teaching her grandson how to prepare dough. So if there will be a time when no one is around and nothing to eat he can prepare by himself some meal.
Patience and kindness is needed for life teachings.

Just checking what is happening in there. She is so preoccupied with things.


A funny moment of a gosling who is confused.


Testing if the pears are ready to harvest. Hungry for vitamins and claiming trees and lathers. Always something to do.


Here we see the central bazaar, outdoor market of Chisinau.
Lots of produce are imported. A local farmer has little chances to sell his produce. The market is privatized by local dealers or mafia. 


As you can see the goods are sold outside. Clean floors, nice smells and bugs free are not an option here. However the selections are big, but prices are the same at every seller. One can't get a deal or find a cheaper price from something. Unless shopping from outside of market where villagers come to sell their goods and every time chased away by police. There is no place in bazaar for them.

Some areas there is an indoor market too. However the prices are not lower but on the contrary. Lots of times the sellers cheat the buyers and those who detect this are starting fights. People get frustrated.  


Here is the interventions and gas repairs services. Pretty old vehicles, left from Soviet Union to haunt the people. The vehicles are breaking often and parts are harder to find.


Preparing the fire for a quick bbq.


 This road is great. Not a mountain road, no. It is another village road.


This is a panorama photo of the one above.


Beautiful moments of simple villages. The water system doesn't work. One day, maybe.


A ravine separating a village trough the middle. Great habitat for foxes and other small wild animals.


Time to bind the grape vines, so the grape can be secure. The winds will not break the heavy loaded vines. And it makes easier during harvesting time. 
The job gets boring sometime. But good for meditation. 


So the beans are ready. Now we need to break the shuck and have them ready to cook something delicious. 

Such Beautiful Rugs.
To think about, they are hand made... Hard to believe. every repeated leaf or flower looks the same. So? It's still hand made. People have done this things for generations, if there is a mistake, they break and make again, better.

Another scar left from Soviet era. Even water had gone a different way. 


This is a carousel, yes. Handmade.
Kids were seating in the hoop, start running and  at a desired speed were jumping getting a sense of flying. Sometimes there were others pushing those in hoops for a greater effect.


Don't be afraid, this roots will not attack they just try to hold on to the ground.
Usually this streets are cool during summer but also full of mosquitoes. 


Ah, the sun-flower. It is so delicious and such time consuming but still fun after the lips and fingers get black from so much eating.


This church was never finalized unfortunately, waiting for a miracle to happen.
The construction were stooped by the communist system. Lots of years people were living with hopes. 


An very old wine-presser now just stays with out a job. Waiting for someone to take it to the museum.  

Outdoor Cooking System. All Natural. The villagers call it "cotlon".


Corn grinder machine. Very useful for a villager. The grinded  grains and corn are used for feeding the animals domestic birds and humans. 


A neighbor's birthday party. Lots of food and alcohol. And fights.


Hungry for some organic pears, here, have few. Don't look they are little speckled, they still delicious. 


Brier, eglantine or dog-rose are called this beautiful read fruits. They are very useful in our health. A cup of tea a day it is enough. Helps with a lots of illnesses. 
This bushes normally are found one the side of the roads and outskirts of towns. 


Every villager is making they're own construction, no license here. Just some stones and cement around the house to maintain its sustainability. 


But first the stones were put and arranged good. Because the mighty kitty was supervising the work. The job must be done right. 


This is a public toilet. Bring your own toilet paper here. And there is no water to wash hands.
The smell is terrific too.


The villagers who had rented out they're lands came here to get they're share of grain. 


Waiting for the renter to show up villagers are exchanging thought on next steps and if they are happy.

Home eggs. So natural and delicious.

Two good neighbors.


 The mighty kitty gut thirsty. 
And it's drinking the goslings water. 

Harvesting the grapes. Beautiful times. 


The goats had missed the home and are pulling me of my feet to get home faster.


 The fire wood gets cutted for winter. Then arranged in a covered place. Hard work. 


Took some water from the well and stopped for a break and a quick talk. 


Public transportation it's packed. And hot.


 The Ambulance. 
It will come to you, yes... but when... we don't know.


The cemetery. Old and not so much taking cared of. However villagers still visiting and remembering those who they loved. 

A house in the middle of nowhere? Oh, this is normal... Those who want to be isolated do so for many reasons like peace and quiet, fresh air and the green view.


We hope you are all good and healthy
Stay safe and be happy for life it is beautiful. 
Thank you for coming on my blog. 
Have a wonderful day!!!
