Getting to know Another Professional From Roma!

While browsing through the REYN blog I came across a story regarding this young woman named, Laura Bosnea. She was elected to the local council in Rascani City in 2015, as one of the first Roma woman in Moldova. Laura was married and a mother by the age of 21, but she never saw herself as a stay at home mom, a housewife. By the age of 28 she became a community mediator between Roma and the local administration.

Laura’s purpose within the community was to help disadvantaged people and fight for justice. Since her fight, 79 children have been registered in schools, the streets of Roma have lighting, and garbage bins have been installed. For some, they may see this as minor accomplishments but Laura fought very hard for these minor accomplishments. Laura has come to realize that her mission is in Roma; her future plan is to build a community center for women and children from vulnerable groups. Her future plan is to continue her education and graduate from law school so that she may continue with her mission and bring change into Roma.
