An invitation for taking part in the donation initiative was received from the Office of the Deputy Minister of Tourism Mr Fish Mahlalela.

A local Bulgarian firm for meat and meat products – “Rodopa Meat” contributed with own products. Mr. Kaloyan Georgiev, attaché, took part in the initiative on behalf of the Bulgarian Embassy. 

The donation was presented during a ceremony in one of the schools in the village of Mbuzini.
