"Time with a smile for the lonely elderly" in Burgas
Volunteers from Burgas for yet another year are organizing an Easter campaign "Time with a smile for the lonely elderly", reports BNR Burgas. The idea is to collect food for the needy in the Burgas region. More than 100 residents of Strandzha villages and the town of Malko Tarnovo receive holiday food packages from this campaign, which is held for Christmas and Easter. "Our goal is not only to deliver food to them, but also to visit them and show them some attention, tell them a story and, of course, sing together and make them smile!" say the organisers.
