Saturday, August 27, 2016, Moldova marked 25 years of independence. On that day in 1991, the then Soviet Republic of Moldova declared its independence from the collapsing Soviet Union. Unfortunately, the past twenty five years have been marked by division and instability. Corruption, emigration and poverty are widespread and continue to impede progress. Moldova seems to be still searching for its identity, values and vision. The country and its people are beautiful, and there exist possibilities for a better future. However, it will probably require meaningful change and a few more generations.

ReplyDeleteWe are finally beginning to cool down a little and get out of the 90's! We are so spoiled with our seasons. I love fall so I am happy to see it approaching!
Take care Deb! Know that I hold you in prayer!
I am just getting to your October post. And Google did not send the September post to my feed so I am catching up on those today too. Interesting culture and thank you for sharing. I assume you heard the news about our Presidential election. I am not sure what you'll come home to in Spring. I am praying for Trump's success but I am very, very apprehensive. Getting ready for Thanksgiving-the holiday is creeping up fast. Hope all is well for you. Know you are missed. Grace
