Cultural Tour 2008- Last day!
The highlight of the tour. . .
After a well-earned lay-in, we gathered at Sofia Baptist Church to share worship with the children, see pictures of the Hon. Secretary's fund-raising sky-dive, and think about the issues around giving our selves and our resources.
A guided tour of the new Social, Medical and Training Centre in the afternoon made us realise just how big this project is, and how much has been achieved so far.
The evening meeting was a traditional Bulgarian event with a youth band and exquisite violin-playing by two students at Sofia School of Music.
Then there was a 'bosa-drinking' contest. Bosa is an oaten breakfast-drink much loved by Bulgarians, but not to every newcomer's taste!
Thank you Didi for organising, Radi and Plami (married just 3 weeks before the event) for hosting, Demenujka for guiding, and Pepe for driving.
You gave us an unforgettable experience!
All the 'Tourists' not only paid for their own trip but also generously agreed to pay an additional 500 pounds towards the Centre building-costs. Thank you folks !
