Grandma’s Love

Alexandria (7) and Alexia (6) are playing with water and soap in the garden at their grandparents‘ house. Both of the children‘s parents are currently working abroad. Grandma Mia has had a lot of laundry to do since the arrival of her grandchildren, but she finds it important that her grandchildren can play freely despite the concerns about missing their parents. Mia: „I enjoy seeing them have fun. If that means I sometimes have to wash mud out of their clothes for days on end, that‘s part of it. Children should be able to be children.“

According to a report by UNICEF, an estimated 350,000 children in Romania miss at least one parent because they are working abroad.
