We equipped those schools with separate waste collection bins to continue educating their students. We installed a "Bottle Eater" in Karlovo’s main square, provided to us by the "BG Be Active" Association under their campaign "I want to be useful...Recycle me!" with a campaign to distribute water bottles with a message to throw them away in the bottle, in order to raise the environmental awareness of the citizens and young people of Karlovo.We also took part in the eco-awareness raising event of the “Central Balkan” National Park in the town of Anton as well as in the official opening of the renovated eco-path above the town of Kalofer.

Korean evening at the Youth Center - Our active volunteer Denislava Koleva, a participant in the Bulgarian youth delegation to the Ministry of Youth and Sports, who visited South Korea as part of the partnership between the two countries, shared what she had seen and experienced during the visit in South Кorea. We learned how young people live there, how developed youth activities are with a whole Youth Research Institute and hospitals to combat internet addictions, interesting 24/7 shops that are completely self-service, where you can even cook and eat.
We learned how Korean people greet each other, what their cuisine is like and what excites young people there. We also leьrned that aggression and school bullying are not alien to this high-tech country as well. It is important for young people to travel and communicate with peers from all over the world so they can see how other people live, to learn from good practices but also to be grateful and protect what we have, such as our beautiful nature and clean air, which seem to be "luxuries" for many developed countries. https://www.facebook.com/mgirdrosevalley/posts/pfbid032Q7DFAXSAYN9FFc86ciiCKeKxvcxmPBA3G87tYUb5uRnir3qfnzUMAgdnHAM5ePel

"Make a dream come true" – taking up the idea of our volunteer Preslava Bogoeva, we surprised 14 children deprived of parental care living in an Orphanage in Karlovo with Christmas presents they had wished for. We contacted the Orphanage management and asked them to make children write letters with their Christmas wishes. After that we put their letters on a Christmas tree in a local restaurant where good citizens of Karlovo took them and fulfilled the children’s wishes preparing nice Christmas presents for them. Then our youth volunteers took the presents to the children sharing the Christmas with them. https://www.facebook.com/mgirdrosevalley/posts/pfbid02bPFYgisWmuFgaudjzLXp97iXGBdGsaBdXdR6mbgjX6uF2WPKtR9s19dkjNxknCNPl
