The President Mr. Enrico Repouz reported on the successful initiative with “National Fund St. Nicola” Foundation who approached us with a request to sponsor 15 children with physical and cognitive disabilities by purchasing winter boots for them. Rotary Club Sofia International and its members were able to raise an amount with which we were actually able to purchase 45 pairs of boots for 45 kids. In addition one of our members will donate a large amount of children’s clothes to the foundation.

The meeting continued with a presentation by our member and Chairman of the Bulgarian Association for Drug Information Prof. Dr. Tatyana Benisheva on the topic of self medication and use of off-label medicine. Later on Mrs. Elisaveta Belobradova and Mrs. Krasimira Hadjiivanova presented their social enterprise “Ole Male” – helping mothers of disabled children to work and support themselves.
