Lambreva and her colleagues arranged transportation for the donation,requiring two trips to Sofia to collect everything.The donated items include two display cabinets perfect for the center’s collection of retro martenichki (traditional bulgarian spring decorations), four luxurious chairs, and five more slated for the library. They also received oblong stools, orchids, picture frames, rose panels, Christmas decorations, and other stylish accents.

On Monday,other friends of the center from Sofia offered to donate blinds and a balustrade for the small hall,which is used frequently. Lambreva praised Kuzmanova as “a person of class, taste and genuine kindness – bright, inspiring and extremely generous.” She also noted the warmth and generosity of Kuzmanova’s parents, who assisted with the donation.

Your support and attitude leave a lasting mark and remind how strongly and beatiful maybe yes be the good,” Lambreva added.
