Since 2013 Foundation "For Change" annually organizes summer camps for kids in risk - kids who were abused, orphans, kids who live in poverty. Last 2 years this tradition was paused due to covid but this year we again have a chance to give to the "different" kids something unforgettable. In those summer camps we show the kids that there are other ways of communication, values in life. We encourage them to dream and be ready to make efforts for those dreams to come true. We show them love and correction, help them build skills they will need in their lives through games, activities and conversations. We believe that it is possible for them to have a good life and future and that their choices do matter. We do all of this with a team of great volunteers. One of those volunteers is the family of Ivo Rahov who is regularly part of those summer camps. But it is not only Ivo Rahov’s family that supports those children - it is all of you, who for the past several years are participating in preparing the Christmas gifts for those kids. Here is a short video from the last summer camp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMmfUI1dsOQ This year the summer camp is planned between 4 - 9 July.

Cisco B1 UCS Collective efforts to support Family Giving Tree's Annual Back Pack Drive 2022 - our goal is $2,000.00 which averages to about 40 back packs for children in need in the Bay Area. 1 in 3 Bay Area families struggle to meet all of their financial needs. This sad reality means school supplies and backpacks are not always a guarantee every year for their student children. To help, Family Giving Tree’s Back-to-School Drive works to create a more equitable learning space for students when they begin a new school year. Every student deserves to feel hopeful and well-prepared in school and your support is vital to equip 26,000 students this summer.

We would like to order a cake, drinks and tiny snacks for two groups of children: 110 refugee children and 100 children in "Ivan Mitev" Pediatric Hospital.

The war in Ukraine is having a devastating impact on children, with many of them forced to flee their homes or remaining trapped in areas of conflict. We have a way to help some of them to forget their sad reality for a moment and live through some happy moments. Mali Mistrzowie NGO have invited three Ukrainian teams to participate in the international football tournament Salt Mine Cup 2022. Due to the fact that a lot of children are displaced, they were not able to come as Football clubs and instead they will come as 3 united teams playing under the Ukraine flag. Join us in this fundraising to cover transport and accommodation and help us make young Ukrainian football players' smile again! Thank you very much for your generosity and support!

Our center is part of a business building in Sofia, Bulgaria, and since we have moved in in 2016, we have not done any improvements. In addition last year our facilities were flooded, and this caused significant damage to the floor and the furniture. In addition to that, our therapeutic program has its requirements regarding exercise and therapeutic equipment. Donations to this fund will be used to do the first required repairment for flooring, painting, and then buy furniture and equipment such as a climbing wall, steppers or balance beams, monkey bars, etc. We believe it is an important part of our mission to have appropriate space where our children would feel good, and even more - to have space that would maximize the effect of the time a child spends with us..
