J.K. Rowling’s charity, Lumos, is sending a message on the state of Central and Eastern European institutionalized orphans with a new video. This marks the 25th year since the Berlin Wall has come down, but for these children, their situation remains in isolation. J.K. Rowling states in the video, “This is a massive global problem – eight million children trapped in institutions around the globe. But it’s a problem we can solve. I think all of us want to think that we’ve helped give the next generation the best possible start in life.”
