0:00:02 > 0:00:04Hi, I'm Ruben. A hero. A superhero!
0:00:04 > 0:00:06I'm 17 years old.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08And a really great actor.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12I don't need a permit! This is my room, too!
0:00:12 > 0:00:15And I also happen to have Down's syndrome.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Since being in The Dumping Ground,
0:00:18 > 0:00:20I've been thinking, I am really lucky.
0:00:20 > 0:00:24I was born in a country that supports disabled people.
0:00:24 > 0:00:30What would happen to me if I was born somewhere else?
0:00:30 > 0:00:34I'm going to find out what my life would be like
0:00:34 > 0:00:39if I lived in Europe's poorest country, Moldova.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41It's quite an adventure...
0:00:41 > 0:00:43- Pickled cabbage?!- It's traditional.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46..and I know it's going to be hard...
0:00:46 > 0:00:48- TRANSLATION:- Every night before going to bed, I was crying.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Money is a big problem.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52..and sometimes it's made me sad.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Do you miss your mum and dad?
0:00:54 > 0:00:57He said yes, so, he was abandoned.
0:00:58 > 0:01:04What would life be like for me if I had been born in Moldova...
0:01:04 > 0:01:07I don't... You, um, leave me behind.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10..and got sent to the real Dumping Ground?
0:01:35 > 0:01:38I'm going to Moldova tomorrow.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40I am going to see the cities,
0:01:40 > 0:01:44and also not very nice food, like cabbage or summat.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50I'm packing my tartan trousers. Oh, yes!
0:01:50 > 0:01:56I am excited for meeting children with disabilities like me.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58These are my lucky pants.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Yeah!
0:02:02 > 0:02:07- Mum! Where's my passport? - Don't worry, Rubes, here it is.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Think we're good, man.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11I'm ready to go!
0:02:19 > 0:02:21I made it to Moldova!
0:02:21 > 0:02:24But I've not come alone. My mum's here.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Get off!
0:02:26 > 0:02:28This is Natalya.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Natalya is from a charity.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35They have tried to change how disabled children are treated
0:02:35 > 0:02:37all over the world.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39This is my crew.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41They film everything I do.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Get back to work! Come on!
0:02:52 > 0:02:57The first place I'm going to is somewhere that Natalya has told me
0:02:57 > 0:02:59is just like The Dumping Ground.
0:02:59 > 0:03:04It's somewhere here, in Moldova's capital city, Chisinau.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05But where?
0:03:08 > 0:03:12Did you know, the Moldovan currency is the leu?
0:03:12 > 0:03:13More?
0:03:17 > 0:03:20They also have some very strange food here.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Pickled cabbage?!
0:03:22 > 0:03:23- It's traditional.- See that?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Mmm, Moldovan food. SHE LAUGHS
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Hold on, I think I'm getting distracted!
0:03:34 > 0:03:37The charity set up this group home,
0:03:37 > 0:03:41and I'm here to see some of the children who live here.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Let's go and meet them!
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- Please meet Daniel. - HE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- If you are interested, he can show you around.- Yes, please.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56OK, let's follow him.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59HE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE
0:04:00 > 0:04:03So, they play games on computer and watch TV.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- So, this is Daniel's room.- Nice.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Who's he, on the photo? HE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Some of the children from here, they went to a park, have a picnic.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26So this is the bedroom of Daniel's sister, Cesara.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Daniel's sister has a disability,
0:04:28 > 0:04:34but everyone lives here together, disabled and non-disabled.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- Do you want to meet Daniel's sister? - Yeah, of course.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Perhaps things aren't so bad here after all.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Meet Cesara.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43She's Daniel's sister.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47- HE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE - Do you want to help prepare pizza?
0:04:47 > 0:04:48Yeah.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52They make their pizza a little differently.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Mayonnaise on the pizza?! Urgh! We don't do that at home.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Like me, Cesara has a learning disability.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05Do you do lots of things with your sister?
0:05:05 > 0:05:07HE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE
0:05:11 > 0:05:14So, he likes to take care of his sister, to be protective,
0:05:14 > 0:05:17to do different kinds of things together.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18SHE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE
0:05:21 > 0:05:23When you are at your home, what do you like to eat?
0:05:23 > 0:05:28I love to eat some Indian food like onion bhajis, poppadoms,
0:05:28 > 0:05:30all that stuff.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Fantastic.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43Can you tell me why Daniel and Cesara are here?
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Sadly, some time ago, their mother died.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48So it's a very sensitive topic for them,
0:05:48 > 0:05:51they don't want to talk about it.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- It makes them feel sad. - I understand that.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Cesara, do you like it here?
0:05:58 > 0:05:59SHE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Yes, she likes living here.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05What's the best thing? SHE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Everything, she likes everything.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11It seems so nice here.
0:06:11 > 0:06:16I really like it, but just as I am getting ready to leave,
0:06:16 > 0:06:21Daniel asks if he can talk to me outside, away from his sister,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24and he tells me this wasn't the first place
0:06:24 > 0:06:27they lived after their mum died.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29HE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE
0:06:29 > 0:06:32He's older than his sister by five years,
0:06:32 > 0:06:38and when he got to the institution, his sister had some difficulties.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39She was brought to another institution,
0:06:39 > 0:06:41for children with disabilities.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45He used to visit his sister in the other institution
0:06:45 > 0:06:48and he had a lot of worries about his sister,
0:06:48 > 0:06:53he was thinking if she is doing fine, nobody is hitting her.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57He thought it was not a good place for his sister to be.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00So you got hit? HE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE
0:07:01 > 0:07:04In the institution there was a special room for doing homework
0:07:04 > 0:07:06for all the children.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09He was trying to do his homework in his bedroom
0:07:09 > 0:07:12and the staff member was mad about it,
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- and just hit him.- I'm sorry, Daniel.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19What's it like being here? HE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE
0:07:19 > 0:07:23Since she's here, together with Daniel, she's much better.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27When Daniel told me about his orphanage, I was really shocked.
0:07:27 > 0:07:33It made me wonder if any other kids went to the orphanage,
0:07:33 > 0:07:36and how did the children end up there?
0:07:41 > 0:07:45Today, I'm here to meet someone called Victoria.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49She has a learning disability like me.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52She lived a long time in an institution,
0:07:52 > 0:07:57and I want to know what that was like for her.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02But she lives in a really small village where there's no address.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03Where's Victoria?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05SHE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Where's Victoria?
0:08:07 > 0:08:08SHE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Where's Victoria?
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Phew! I've found her house.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14Hi!
0:08:14 > 0:08:15- Hi.- Hi.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18I will teach you my special handshake.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Do that, and then change over...
0:08:21 > 0:08:23..and then it's fist bump...
0:08:23 > 0:08:25..and then it's like that.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Speedy up.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- TRANSLATION:- Victoria, you need to finish your chores.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33Ruben, will you help me?
0:08:33 > 0:08:36I do chores at home. This should be easy.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42First up, we need to feed the chickens.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43They are hungry.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47OK, my chores aren't like this!
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- Am I doing it right?- Da.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54Then, because Victoria doesn't have water at her house,
0:08:54 > 0:08:57we have to get some from the well.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59- Maybe you want to try?- Yeah.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03I didn't realise anyone used wells any more.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06- Is it hard?- Yeah, it is hard.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10- Do you do this every day? TRANSLATION:- Yep, almost.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Victoria seems to be doing really well at home.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18So why was she sent away?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Why were you in the institution?
0:09:21 > 0:09:22THEY SPEAK OWN LANGUAGE
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- TRANSLATION:- When I was nine, I was taken there.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30I have speech and communication difficulties,
0:09:30 > 0:09:34and my school wasn't ready to accept children with disabilities.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36What was it like?
0:09:38 > 0:09:42It's hard to live in an institution, because you miss your parents
0:09:42 > 0:09:44and your friends.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47And when I was there, I didn't have any friends.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51I was not allowed to leave. I lived there for six years.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52SHE SIGHS
0:09:54 > 0:09:58How did your mum feel about you going?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- TRANSLATION:- We could go and ask her ourselves.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04- Shall we bring the water to your mum, then?- Yeah.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Oh, phew!
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Oh!
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Good job Victoria's here to carry most of the weight.
0:10:18 > 0:10:24How did you feel when Victoria went to the institution?
0:10:24 > 0:10:28- TRANSLATION:- I missed her very much.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30I was used to having all my children here.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35And when Victoria left, I felt that someone very important was missing.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37It's not normal to separate children from their parents.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Do you think it was the right decision?
0:10:42 > 0:10:44It wasn't the right thing to do,
0:10:44 > 0:10:47but we had no choice because of her disability.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Every evening sitting at the table, Victoria wasn't there,
0:10:50 > 0:10:52it was wrong.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Every night before going to bed, I was crying.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00It was a hard time.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07You need to go now, you'll be late for work.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Whoa! Have you got a job?
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- TRANSLATION:- Yes, I work at the local school
0:11:11 > 0:11:14helping other children with special needs.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Would you like to walk with me? - Yes, I do.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27It was so sad when Victoria went to her orphanage.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Her mum thought she was doing the right thing.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32It was really difficult.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36But it's so nice to see her doing well now.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41Thank you for meeting me and telling me your story.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Thank you for coming.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- Bye!- Bye!
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Everyone's talking about these places.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57These institutions.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02I think I need to go to see them for myself.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07Well, you know, Ruben, if you'd like to see such a place,
0:12:07 > 0:12:11you can go tomorrow. You might find this experience very sad.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15- I think I'm ready. - OK, then we'll do it.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20This is an orphanage,
0:12:20 > 0:12:24just like where Victoria, Daniel and Cesara were sent.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30Not many people have been able to see inside it,
0:12:30 > 0:12:32but I've been given permission.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Natalya brought me here,
0:12:35 > 0:12:40but I'm a bit worried it might not be very nice in there.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43So I've brought my mum along. Come on.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48The institution she's brought me to
0:12:48 > 0:12:52is set up only for boys with a disability.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Let's meet the children.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58These are the youngest.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Hello.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02They've been expecting guests.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03I'm Ruben.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08I've realised that during my whole time in Moldova,
0:13:08 > 0:13:14I haven't seen anyone with a severe disability anywhere.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18They don't get much physical contact.
0:13:18 > 0:13:25So when someone like me or my mum touches their face,
0:13:25 > 0:13:27it makes them really happy.
0:13:28 > 0:13:34These boys are the lucky ones who get to come out of their cots.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Let's meet Mihai. He's very friendly and smiling.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39- Salut.- Salut.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42See, he's smiling. Salut!
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Mihai doesn't have a wheelchair like the other boys,
0:13:45 > 0:13:49so he has to stay in the cot all day.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Is this where he sleeps?
0:13:52 > 0:13:54No, this room is like a living room
0:13:54 > 0:13:57where they have activities or watch TV,
0:13:57 > 0:14:02but there is another room with their beds.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Can we see it?
0:14:04 > 0:14:05Yes, I think we can.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09It's horrible to think that these boys will be in this room
0:14:09 > 0:14:14or in their bedroom every single day of their lives.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15It's this way.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18This is the bedroom where boys sleep.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24It somehow looks typical for institutions
0:14:24 > 0:14:27because there are several beds in one room.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Why are they all here?
0:14:29 > 0:14:33So, most of the children were abandoned at birth.
0:14:33 > 0:14:39This is a huge burden probably for the family.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42It's hard to hear disabled children like me
0:14:42 > 0:14:46being thought of as a burden.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Is there anyone like me here?
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Yes, there are boys like you here. We can go and meet them if you like.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- Yeah.- OK, let's go.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05The longer I'm here, the sadder I feel.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Salut.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12- Salut. - So let's meet some of the boys here.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14And it seems they have some activities today.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19I couldn't believe he was just colouring in.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23At my school, I learn maths, English, science.
0:15:23 > 0:15:24Meet Ruben.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30I hadn't seen anyone with Down's syndrome.
0:15:30 > 0:15:35I was so surprised they were lumped together in the orphanage.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Ruben, come and meet Costa.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Let's see him. Let's say hello.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- Costa said hello. Noroc.- Noroc.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- I like your hair.- He says thank you.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Who does his hair reminded me of?
0:15:56 > 0:15:59He's building a home.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01With these colourful pieces.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- Do you like it here?- Da.
0:16:03 > 0:16:04He said yes.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Can you show me your bedroom?
0:16:07 > 0:16:08Da.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11OK.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22This way. Let's follow Costa.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Everywhere here feels so dark.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Ruben, this is Costa's bed.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- Do you like your bedroom? - Da.- He said yes.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Even at the Dumping Ground, Finn has his own bedroom.
0:16:38 > 0:16:43Costa has to share his with nine other boys.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44Who's that on your bed?
0:16:49 > 0:16:51- This is a nice toy.- Da.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Da. Yeah.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Do you miss your mum and dad?
0:16:55 > 0:16:56Da.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59He said yes. So he was abandoned.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07Do you have any other toys that is just yours?
0:17:07 > 0:17:09- Da.- He says yes.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10Where are they?
0:17:10 > 0:17:15They have more toys in their classroom. He can show you.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21This is his classroom. Over there he's going to show you his book.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24- See?- Cool.
0:17:26 > 0:17:32It seems like the only toy Costa has to himself is his teddy.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36Everything else is kept in the classrooms and used by everyone.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40What are you going to do when you grow up?
0:17:42 > 0:17:45He said no, I don't think he has thought about this.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52Are you happy?
0:17:52 > 0:17:53Da.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57He said yes.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01I feel sad for these boys.
0:18:01 > 0:18:06So I want to find out why it has to be like this.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09This is Diana, the head of this institution.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13Why don't the children have their own bedrooms?
0:18:15 > 0:18:17- TRANSLATION:- Unfortunately these are the conditions
0:18:17 > 0:18:20our country can offer at this stage.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Is there enough money?
0:18:22 > 0:18:28Moldova is one of the poorest countries in Europe.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31The financial resources available in our country
0:18:31 > 0:18:35are not directed primarily to children of disabilities.
0:18:36 > 0:18:41It doesn't seem fair that the money is the only thing
0:18:41 > 0:18:45that is keeping these boys in such a bad place.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49If you'd have been born in Moldova, OK,
0:18:49 > 0:18:52chances are you'd have ended up in this institution.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55How do you think that would have been?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Er...
0:18:59 > 0:19:01I don't... I don't...
0:19:01 > 0:19:03..you...leave me...
0:19:03 > 0:19:06..um, leave me behind.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08We're lucky, aren't we, Rubes?
0:19:08 > 0:19:13Yes, we're so lucky because I'm born in the UK.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17- Yeah, you are lucky to be born in the UK, for sure.- Yeah.
0:19:17 > 0:19:22- Shall we go back to the hotel? - Yeah.- Come on, then.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34As night falls, I'm still thinking about the boys in the dormitory.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38So I've got you a question.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45Do you wear socks when you're sleeping in your bed?
0:19:46 > 0:19:47I do.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50Because...
0:19:51 > 0:19:54..my nan always says to me...
0:19:56 > 0:19:58..if you wear socks in your bed...
0:20:00 > 0:20:02..you get good dreams.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06And I need that to come true tonight.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Yeah.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16That is a doucher yesterday.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20It's so hard seeing that.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23It's so sad. Money is a big problem.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29I wondered what it would be like if...
0:20:29 > 0:20:31..if, if, if...
0:20:31 > 0:20:36..if there was enough money for people with disabilities.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42Natalya has one more place for me to visit.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45This school has been funded through a charity
0:20:45 > 0:20:49and all children learn together.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53We have support teachers, they have different kinds of activities
0:20:53 > 0:20:56and also they can go to classes with their peers.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01And I've really got into the spirit of things.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10This place is cool. How long have you been here?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12This is his first year in this school.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Do you like it here?
0:21:14 > 0:21:17He made some friends, he likes to go to classes
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- and also he likes to get grades for his lessons.- Oh, cool.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24What do you want to do when you grow up?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26He wants to become a policeman.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Are the police in wheelchairs?
0:21:30 > 0:21:34- He hasn't seen any policeman in a wheelchair.- You can be the first.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Thank you.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41Great work, Mihai.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48So, Ruben, he wants to go to his Russian classes.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52- Do you want to join them? - Russian? Yes, of course.
0:21:54 > 0:21:59This school reminded me of my school in the UK,
0:21:59 > 0:22:06where disabled and non-disabled kids all learn together.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Would you like to learn a couple of Russian words? I can teach you.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14- Yes, please. - OK, so, privet is hi.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18- Privet.- Wow. That's really great.
0:22:19 > 0:22:20Love is liubot.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- Liubot.- Oh, wow! Great.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Do you like Mihai here?
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Yes, of course, he's a really great student.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30And a really great friend.
0:22:30 > 0:22:36Just like at my school, the disabled kids sometimes learn together
0:22:36 > 0:22:40and sometimes learn with other non-disabled kids,
0:22:40 > 0:22:42depending on their needs.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- We have the cake ready. We can try it.- Great!
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Mmm, gorgeous!
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Thank you for showing me your school.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12I had so much fun at the school.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14I laughed so much.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19I couldn't stop thinking about Costa in the orphanage.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20I want to do something for them.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23This gave me a good idea.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28I know I couldn't change their situation,
0:23:28 > 0:23:30but I want to do something.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- OK, Rubes, are we ready to play some games?- Yeah.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38So, we've got some bubbles, balloons. We've got a space blanket.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41and we've got a parachute.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45I'm going to give the parachute to Costa so he can keep it.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Let's have some fun.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55As the kids arrive, we get stuck into playing straight away.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00It's so great to see everyone so happy.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04Even the simplest things are making these boys smile.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09I think I'm going to find this game very funny.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11After giving Costa the parachute,
0:24:11 > 0:24:15he's keen to play with it with his friends.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19So, we have to get these guys into the middle of the parachute
0:24:19 > 0:24:21to go up and down.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Unu, doi, trei...
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Unu...trei!
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Our time to leave comes all too quickly.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08And saying goodbye is hard.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Unu, doi...
0:25:19 > 0:25:20..trei.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Come here, Costa.
0:25:35 > 0:25:41I did like Moldova and it was great to see the school.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47But I couldn't stop thinking about the children in the orphanage.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51The trip has made me want to see
0:25:51 > 0:25:55what I can do to help children in orphanages.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01I'm back from Moldova, now I'm in London.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05I am going to talk to important people
0:26:05 > 0:26:11about what it's like in Moldova for people with disabilities.
0:26:11 > 0:26:16But first, I'm off to meet Evanna Lynch,
0:26:16 > 0:26:20who played Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter.
0:26:20 > 0:26:25She is an ambassador for Lumos.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- Hi, Evanna.- Hi, Ruben. - I've been to Moldova.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33It's great that you've seen some of the things that are changing there.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36I've heard that the conditions in these orphanages are not very good.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40The places are dark and it's old.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42I met a boy called Costa.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46They have no toys and they are shut away, children like me.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49I mean, thank you for sharing that, Ruben, I'm really glad that
0:26:49 > 0:26:52you're helping educate people on what's happening in Moldova.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56So, Lumos is working to have no more orphanages by 2050.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59- Yes! No more orphanages!- Cool.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02So, we are now going to talk to more people about this work,
0:27:02 > 0:27:04- so shall we go and do that? - Yeah.- Let's go.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09- Hi.- Hi.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Hi.
0:27:20 > 0:27:25So, I have been talking to these important people.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27They talked to me and said
0:27:27 > 0:27:32they would keep helping children in Moldova.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37These people have left a big impression on me.
0:27:37 > 0:27:43I just want them to have the same chances in life that I've had.
0:27:43 > 0:27:50So I am going to fight for their rights every chance I get.
