Many of the parents in our program are having a hard tim finding work. The factories hire them for a one month
trial. The workers are not paid anything during this time. At the end of the month, they are told they are not
needed and the factory finds someone else. This way, the factories get free labor. It is very discouraging trying
to find work when this goes on. There are some factories that do hire people but you never know what will happen after
you have worked for one month with no pay.

land flooded with light." By John Keith Falconer, Scottish missionary
KIDNAPPING
A BIG PROBLEM that is continuing to exist among the gypsy people is the kidnapping of young girls from the
schools or streets. Men come from other villages and take girls between the ages of 12-18. Most of the girls stop going to
school at the age of 12 because of this fear. They stay close to their home and are even afraid to go on the streets. We found
many of the girls in our program had been kidnapped a few months ago. One of the families got their daughter back. Adina Marin
had been taken by an older man to his village. He was mean and so were his parents. Adina is a good Christian girl and tried
to share the gospel but they wanted nothing to do with it. They made her stay on her knees begging like a dog and beat her
constantly. Her parents did not know where she was but they continued to pray for her return. Adina was able to escape and
found her way home to her parents and 8 siblings.
