Quoting femmeous

Quoting Deli_kizin

 Actually my second paragraph was ´you´ as in general, not specifically you.

 

you (a team of mods) are a master of this basic diplomacy. you say what you say but later on add "oh it wasnt about you specifically"

 

 Ha ha! interesting... i agree with femmeous here

This is what we do for our children in need.  We raise money generously and these funds do not just go to children in the UK but other parts of the world too.

 

I would just like to point out that the children shown in the film were not orphans but had been placed in the orphanges by their parents.

 

Also, this is a Turkish site, therefore items about Turkey get posted here.  We have plenty of undercover investigations in the UK and sometimes it gets things done, sometimes it does not.  It is no good ignoring what is happening.  It does not paint a bad light on Turkey its self but on the government of Turkey.

 

It is also nice to see some Turkish response, even with head burried in the sand approach being taken.

Turkish children mistreated, Duchess´s TV film alleges

 

 

 Duchess of York witnessed disturbing scenes, including a handicapped boy lying in the corridor where he had crawled to reach sunlight shining through a window.

Other scenes, secretly filmed while she was visiting state institutions for orphans and disabled children, showed a boy being kept in a wooden box.

I work for a school district. It is my job as the Transportation Manager to set up school bus transportation for children with special needs. I had been in the school bus industry for several years before taking this job, and let me tell you I have learned a lot!! I am lucky enough to have my office across the street from one of our schools for children with special needs. I go over every day to help at dismissal time to get the children on the buses. It is so nice when one of them comes over to tell you about their day. Our student population has many disabilities, mental, physical, behavioral. But when you get to know the children it is a true treat!!
