The national campaign “Caps for the Future”, which aims to purchase medical equipment for the treatment of children, is being held in Sofia and five other cities. Its initiators expect to collect about 60 tons of plastic on the central square “Knyaz Alexander I” in the capital Sofia.

The funds raised from the spring campaign will be used to provide mobile defibrillators for neonatal clinics, including for the hospital in Pernik – there, a few days ago, the “Caps for the Future” foundation donated a resuscitation thermal bed at a time when the maternity ward is threatened with closure.

From the morning, residents of Sofia are flooding the square with tons of caps collected over months, a BNR reporter reported. “There are thirty-five cans. I collect from friends, from a pastry shop, from shops around me, there are some placed under the stairs of the residential buildings by my relatives,” said one of the donors.
