An impromptu fashion show with the participation of girls from social services and graduates from the 2nd Sofia Secondary School “Acad. Emilian Stanev” will take place today in the capital’s Space in the Largo zone. The event is part of the campaign of the charity initiative “Ball Dresses with a Cause” of the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy and the “Assistance to Persons with Developmental Problems” Foundation.

Thanks to the initiative, graduates from vulnerable groups will be at their prom wearing donated dresses by designers Desislava Tosheva and Dido Georgiev. Another goal is to raise funds for the construction of a Day Center for Children and Youth with Disabilities “Villa AutisticA” in Sofia's Slatina district.

"The topic of autism should be in the focus of society throughout the year," said Social Minister Borislav Gutsanov at the opening of the photo exhibition "Through Your Eyes and mine" by Sevdalin Tlachenski - a young man on the autistic spectrum who will attend today's fashion show.
