That's a great photo of Berni and Dougie ... nice one Bryan.

Berni, would you like me to make that your profile picture? It would be just the job!

Great picture well done Bryan and well done to all those who made this possible.

Its amazing what this wonderful lady and her husband do, I have seen the change over the years to, you only have to look back at the pictures to see what a transformation there has been and all very positive, I heartily congratulate you both for all you have done to make such a difference to so many young lives.

Another fantastic success and a very pleasant day out for all of Berni's helpers, friends and visitors, probably the largest ex-pat's involvement so far. I was there (with camera) with my wife, her cousin and wife and a lovely younger Bulgarian couple (Veronica and Mitko) who my wife and I call, our Bulgarian children
Well done to all concerned, especially to everybody who contributed to help raise over 2000leva. I have been going to the annual party for four years now and the first year I went I witnessed not very nice conditions in the building and children who looked sad and unwanted. Four years on those same children look happy, in fact, fantastic as they are now one big happy family, clean, tidy and full of joy. Believe me folks, it is unbelievable what Berni and Dougie have done and are continuing to do
Here is a photo of a devoted couple and the devotion shown to their adopted country is here. Don't forget folks Berni gave up her job here in the UK to be in Bulgaria with Dougie to continue with the charity work and all the different projects

Ah bless you Willow you are fab!!! I have such a big head now I am truly delighted with the way the day turned out considering the way it sarted off rain and more rain. The funds will go toward a holiday for the children next year as hey did not manage to get on one this year. I will start writing to all the hotels and companies again beginning of Oct so which me luck also if you have any contact email address for hotels do let me know.
