title: Editor's choice: the plight of a people dispossessed: caring for street children in the mountains of Bulgaria.
abstract: This article was born out of a reflective diary kept by the author while working on a cross-community project in Northern Ireland. While it maps personal experiences, little did the author know its value in gaining insight and understanding of the eastern European situation that has now erupted with such devastating consequences.
