Rebecca Covaciu is a thirteen year old Romany girl with a story similar to many others. Her family comes from a village near Timisoara in Romania, which they left a few years ago due to the lack of work there.After an initial stop off in Italy the Covaciu family (father Stelian, an evangelical vicar, mother Giorgina, and three other brothers, Samuel, Abdel and Manuel) went to Spain where a relative had found a possible job. When this fell through the family went back to Milan in Italy where they live on charity, helped by the EveryOne Group, an international human rights organisation.
