Is Romania a Third-World Country?

No, of course it is not. But one could be lead to believe so, looking at the list of projects carried out by an organization that donates shoes to poor children. Besides Cambodia, LaosNicaragua and Timor-Leste, they have a project in the EU member state Romania.

Admittedly, some of the slums here really look like third-world places.
