#Blamemyparents: Bearing The Burden - Andrea, Romania

Andrea would love to just concentrate on her Master's studies in Romania. But she has to take care of her family instead because her mother is working abroad to support them financially.

If Andrea wants to talk to her mother, her cell phone and Skype are the only options. That's because Andrea's mom lives several hundred kilometres away in Western Europe, where she works to support her family financially. Back in Romania, Andrea has to take care of her younger sister all by herself. Life Links reporter Sumi Somaskanda met the 23-year-old in the village of Raducaneni, where, according to UNICEF, around 15 percent of the children have seen at least one parent leave amidst the wave of labor migration.
