The Hope for Latvia Blog
Is Latvia a Forgotten Country?
You might remember our blog from a few months back which asked the question ‘Is Riga Really Rich?’ We found it ironic that one of Europe’s poorest nations had appeared on the new World Edition of the popular Monopoly board game;
Many of you responded to the blog, and some of our readers in Latvia emailed us to say there had actually been a campaign to get Riga on the popular board game so that people would know where it was. Latvians are keen to make sure that their nation isn’t ignored by the European community and the rest of the world.
Before I got involved with Hope for Latvia I could probably (after a few minutes fumbling around) have pointed out Latvia on a world map. What I had never been told about was the real poverty which families in Latvia were living in. At first I simply didn’t believe that such destitution could exist in a modern European country. This lead to me volunteering with Hope for Latvia and playing my part in transforming lives. To find out how you can help raise the profile of this situation, don’t hesitate to contact us.
