Exciting, touching, splendid! We, the 47 volunteers, wrote our own fairytale together with some of the brightest talents amongst the people with disabilities in Bulgaria - Kris Grigorov, Ilona Kalcheva, Robert Abrashev, Petya, Hristina. No, they are not that different. They are irreplaceable. People with huge talents, so openminded, so friendly, so wise. I must admit we were kind of scared before we met those youngsters - it`s just that society pushes them away from us, so we didn`t have the slightest idea what to expect. We were afraid of what we might see, but after all we learned an important lesson. No matter what we are, or what kind of dissability we have, we are wonderful! We are priceless and unique and deep down we treasure up indestructible spirits. Those men and women were full of life, energy and desire to help others. The aim of the concert we put together was to encourage people with disabilities to show up, to stand out in the crowd, because they are not a minority. They are everywhere around us and they need to be accepted. And the new generations are the ones to help them - we are more creative and more opened to changes than our ancestors were.
I had a great time with everybody who decided to take part in this celebration of the power for life. That`s exactly the name of the foundation that realized this event - "Power for life". All the volunteers are planning to keep in touch with the members of the foundation and we even have a new aim:
To never stop searching for people with great talents, wheather they have disabilities, or not, and encourage them to live eagerly and passionately!
