Every one of them is been made possible by the hard work of a team which has invested a lot for its successful implementation. It is important for all of us to pay public recognition to people and organisations who help others to make their lives easier and Bulgaria a better place to live. Fundraising campaigns and donor organisations, funding programmes and raised funds would not make any change without the everyday, targeted and professional work of the numerous motivated and responsible people.
