Have you ever seen the sad eyes of a child? Not, of course! Children’s eyes always radiate an endless joy! Children never have problems, but not those who are we going to tell you about, friends!

“I can’t go to school. Mom is afraid that I will feel bad, collapse and no one will be able to help me. Therefore, I study from home. But I really want to play with the children in the yard, to run,” – 8-year-old Barbara tells us with great sadness in her eyes. – Look at me, look well… Do I look like a sick girl? I’m like everyone else, but I am not allowed to.”

“In a scary, scary forest, in a scary, scary house, scary, scary people live…” Do you remember this horror story from childhood? Today we will tell you about such a house. But there are no scary people in this house. Children live there, they are not scary at all, they are just beautiful Georgian children.

“I wonder what my neighbors will say when they see that my house is collapsing, and I am lying under the rubble? They will probably say: “What a pity for her, poor woman … God forbid anyone such a fate!” Or maybe no one will remember me… Maybe they will say: “Poor woman will rest in the afterlife… It was so hard for her here!”
62-year-old Eteri says – she is barely moving and has shortness of breath. “Let me show you my estates, – she tries to joke. – Look, that’s where I live, or rather, I do not live, but wait for death to take me.”

“We will never have anything, our parents are poor,” – the children whisper quietly to me when I ask them about toys. Slum kids! How do they live, it’s a real nightmare! Can it be called life? This is not a house, but a concrete cave from movies about prehistoric dinosaurs. They have no water, no toilet! Just a concrete floor, walls, ceiling! How did these angels make God so angry? What is their fault?
Every day, they look sadly at other children who drink lemonade and eat cookies, while these slum children have tried them only a few times, and buying this at least once a month is a luxury and a dream for this poor large family. Can you imagine?! Lemonade and cookies!!!

Friends let me introduce: Mariam (1-year-old), Barbara (2-year-old), Lika (3-year-old) and Giorgi (4-year-old) – kids, who can only dream about sweets and toys. They are still too little to realize how difficult their situation is, but they already have to endure hardships, and they know by heart: “Mom has no money now… She will buy it later, someday …”
