Rosie is our wee girl we took in a year and a half ago after the death of her grandmother. Her mother had died when she was four and then her granny when she was six, leaving her pretty much alone in the world. She had extended family but none of them wanted the responsibility of taking on yet another child. She's pictured here with Daniela,Irina's daughter and a real cutie. The two of them are now like cousins and most of the time play well together, just occasionally falling out, usually when one is jealous of the other getting too much attention from our many visitors! While we're away in Scotland Amy will be looking after Rosie, not an easy task! Amy loves her new wee sister but is also driven crazy by her (fairly normal, I'd say) and Rosie can be a handful when the mood takes her. Amy has to balance looking after Rosie with school and extra tuition for Romanian and German, not to mention travelling back and forward from town and also looking after granny's apartment and budgie's while granny is visiting family in England. (Oh, almost forgot to mention feeding our two dogs, two cats, three guinea pigs, one rabbit and fish!)

Doesn't sound like you were left with much to do while your Mum and Dad were in the UK Amy! Was Kenny helping out or was he away at Uni? However, I'm sure everything ran like clock work in true Cloke style! Looking at your picture you haven't changed much since I was in Arad with Kirsty in 2003!
working with street children and disadvantaged families in Arad, Romania.
The charity "Vis de Copil" (A Child's Dream)was set up in May 2002 by Kenneth and Kathryn Cloke in response to the needs observed during two years working on the streets of Arad.I'm Kathryn (or Kat, Katy, Kathy, Kati or Kate depending on your fancy)and together with my husband Kenneth seek to help street children, poor families and children at risk in the city of Arad and its surrounding area. Our children have all attended school and university here in Romania and we are all proud to be adopted Romanians.
