Helping after the flood in Karavelovo

On 6 September, the day Bulgaria celebrates one of the most important events in its history, the Unification of the Principality of Bulgaria with Eastern Rumelia, the Presidents' Club organised a volunteer campaign in the village of Karavelovo, which had been hit by severe flooding on 2 September. More than 50 Club members and friends travelled to the village and spent the whole day clearing the mud and silt left in local people's homes and gardens after the water had receded. Participants also donated 1,000 litres of water, buckets, shovels, wheelbarrows and rubber boots. Members of the Club's Youth Section took part too.
