Vânători-Neamţ - Eyes Wide Open


Ever see those late night commercials asking you to donate "only ten cents a day" to help feed and clothe children in desperate circumstances? 


Yeah, I was there.


The place is a Roma Village in Vânători-Neamţ, Romania. It's located somewhere between Comanesti and Hell on Earth.



Our Office Staff made the journey to volunteer here for a day to help build Habitat Houses for this disparaged community who's members live in absolute filth and squalor. During my stay I realized that if you don't immediately numb yourself to your surroundings, you're going to become engulfed with heartbreaking emotion. Now, instead of describing this place in great detail and reliving all these intense emotions, I've decided to just share a few photos instead.


A place like this really reminds you just how lucky you really are.
