I read on the Internet on a visit to Turkey in an orphanage. I thought it was very good and I liked it very much that you took their daughters because my dad took me to an orfanatto when I was 11 years.
Life changes, we started to see the World in a different manner. We see life as it really is not fairy tales.
Congratulations!

You are a good example of good mother, the selfless person. It is really a woman who fight against social injustice.

I wonder if The duchess and her daughter, Princess Eugenie have ever visited homes for abandoned children that in Italy,France,Spain or even in UK?
Why she choosed Turkey for visited and investigated the home for orphanes?
And We'd be very happy if she declared the results of her investigations in the homes for orphanes and disabled children in UK !

Dear Sarah,

I look forward to your documentary on the condition of orphanages in Turkey. Two years ago I spent 48 hours in a detention centre for foreign nationals in Istanbul for working as an English teacher without the correct visa.
As the only ‘westerner’ in the centre, I was treated satisfactorally but the same cannot be said for the 300 or so other foreign nationals. There were 300 of us in one room with only 2 stinking toilets. Detainees had no access to fresh air or adequate food. Beatings took place at night and a young man in the room suffered an asthma attack but received no attention. Foreign prostatutes were arrested and brought to the centre and I believe asked to ‘entertain’ the guards in return for shampoo and soap. The wretched state of many of the inmates came as a shock that I will never forget.
Thankfully, I could afford a plane ticket back to London and was escorted out of the country after enduring 2 days in relatively normal conditions. I believe the company I worked for was bribed as well. The other inmates were not so lucky, a Russian inmate told me he had been there for 3 years!
The guards treated the inmates no better than cattle and the majority of the Turkish public refuse to believe the conditions are so bad. Bizarrely the guard who escorted me to the departure lounge said I was free to re-enter the country the next day as nothing official had been recorded. Until that point, I had been under the impression that I was banned from re-entering Turkey for 5 years. As my fiancée remained in Istanbul, I returned to Turkey a week later.
Once again, I look forward to your documentary,

Yours sincerely,

Nick Gomersall ngomersall@kidbrooke.greenwich.sch.uk

My friend, a speech and language therapist, who works with very disabled children at Lord Mayor Trelor School, in Alton, Hampshire, has just returned from visiting an orphanage in La Paz, Bolivia, where she found children living in very similar circumstances to those children in Turkey. I am currently organising lots of fundraising events to try and improve the lives of these Bolivian children. I lived in Turkey for a few years, and wish you well with your endevours to improve the situation there.

Best wishes
Gillian thorne

Hi Sarah

I am a 51 year old professional and can promise you I can offer a child fronm Romania a very loving caring home. When going on the net you can only adopt if you are a relative. What can we do as my heart was broken when watching your documentary. I have been heartbroken about this situation for a long time and am hoping that with your profile people who want to help - can. Please ring me on 07753776496 or point me in the right direction online. Many Thanks Jan Wallace

I have just been watching ITV and the programme "Duchess and daughters". I wanted to congratulate you on using your position and celebrity to help children in need. I admire your commitment and dedication and wish that 'celebrity' always meant what you choose it to mean. I know you have had your critics. I have never been among them. I think you have an enormous heart and an intelligent mind and you have used both of them for the good of those people who cannot help themselves. You are an amazing woman and an inspiration.

Sarah,

I have followed The Royal Family since a child, and agree when yourself and Diana Divorced, your titles were removed as well as your names from Royal Prayers. Offically you are not a Member of The British Royal Family, for that I am sorry.

However, I must credit with you on how like Diana you do not encourage media on personal visits unless they have the capibility of showing abuse, and the incredible behaviour some humans can do to others, especially children throughout this world.

As you know and are aware, we wll have right to life and a right to life, regardless, of gender, disblility, sex, race or even colour.

I admire you bringing to light the immoral and injust behaviour of human's wherever they me have a home, one world, one nation, one home, one law, and well awould live very well. However we do have to take into consideration difffernt cultures, and though I totally agree with you. Culture is no excuse to abuse mentally of physically another human being.

We all have the right to live and the right to life.

Every COuntry and the UNited Nations should adpot this policy, if not the cannot be a mener of this world.

Sarah, keep up the good work!

Hello Sarah and daughters, Thank you for highlighting the awful plight of those children in Turkey and Romania. It is unbelieveable that this goes on in this day and age and something must be done. I have two daughters 19 and 17 and I also have two little boys aged 10 and 11 who are severely mentally disabled with Fragile X Syndrome. It could so easily be my babies in those awful places and I am sure there are some there with this condition. My boys are loved, (worshipped even!) they are bright, loving, and always strive to reach their potential. This is because they are not in those places! I dread to think what they would be like if they were. As for that guy that said they all rock- what a load of tosh- my boys do not rock (they do flap and jump a lot, but thats due to excitement/anxiety, part of their condition)
Sarah, please get these poor kids out of those places and into proper care. I wish I was seriously rich 'cos I would adopt them all and hold them in my arms forever.
God bless you for your work.
Kerry P
