We have been involved with the Roman Orphanage in Bulgaria since 2001 via the 'Star of Hope' volunteers who visit it regularly to improve the lot of the children who live there. Here are a selection of photographs provided by those workers which illustrate how the money we have donated has been spent.
The Roman Orphanage, sited just outside Sofia in Bulgaria.
Some of the children who live there
'Poetic Hours' donated some money towards an appeal by the Star of Hope to renew some of the beds
We also donated some money to help replace this old washine machine
In 2003 our donation paid for fresh fruit for the children - some of whom had never eaten it before
Here they are being given out by Brian Sumpton who visits the orphanage every year and who has provided these pictures.
