Convoy to Moldova

Early last year the Ulster-based charity Romanian Connection received photographs of orphaned girls living in dehumanising conditions in Hincesti, Moldova. After raising £10 million they sent over the largest convoy of humanitarian aid ever to leave Northern Ireland. Jez Higham's report bears witness to the bureaucratic and political difficulties faced by Romanian Connection's leader Karen Kelly and her team of volunteers as they try implementing radical improvements at the orphanage.
