Rita Trotman

Totnes, South West

I speak about 'Being a Woman at Eton College'. I spent five years as an Eton Dame and looked after Lords, aristocracy and scholarship boys. Women hold a special role in a male dominated world. I have also spent thirty years supporting children who grew up in the horrors of the orphanage scandal of the early nineties. I have fundraised and worked hands-on with seven children and followed their progress on life.

What became of Romania's Lost Children?

I have spent thirty years supporting children who grew up in the horrors of the orphanage scandal of the early nineties. I have fundraised and worked hands-on with seven children and followed their progress on life. From adoption, fostering and in my own case, providing a home for three of them. What was it like in an orphanage? Where are those children now?'
