A PICTURE!!!! FOR REAL!!!!

Copied from a public news website,

   A girl plays in a center for the disabled in Kulina, southern Serbia, Thursday, Nov. 15, 2007. The Serbian government angrily rejected allegations that disabled people in the country have been systematically abused, calling the charge "dark propaganda.

In Serbia, in 2007, Mental Disability Rights International did an investigation of an institution called Kulina. If you google images for "Kulina Serbia" you'll find some of the most difficult to see images you can imagine. If you go here you can read the full report of that investigation. It is NOT for the faint of heart.

The little girl pictured above is one of the children who was found in that institution. Due to the horrific conditions found in Kulina, many patients were transferred to other facilities. The little girl pictured above, along with 9 other children, were transferred to a MUCH nicer facility in Belgrade. I know, I've seen it with my own eyes, and I have met her.  She is growing and thriving. Unfortunately her time there is running out. She is, again, facing that dreaded word "Transfer". Please continue to pray for her, and someday I may be able to update this site with much different pictures of her.
