On 25 September 2019 the first regular meeting of Rotary Club Sofia International after summer season was held in the club’s home base Hilton Sofia. The President Mr. Plamen Kertev opened with a few introductory words, then proceeded with a presentation of the MED-Bul Project, details can be found here and here. The great efforts and brilliant work of Mr. Rumen Russinov, assisted by Mr. Enrico Repouz and Mr. Svetlozar Shkoutov, led to the successful realization of the project. 3 hospitals in North-East Bulgaria were beneficiaries of medical equipment shipped in 2 waves from Austria. Directors of Hospitals are very satisfied by the donations, which were very useful and needed. There are possibilities of new projects with the Austrian Rotary clubs. Main help needed is covering the cost of the transportation.

During the meeting the progress of the main club’s project – the sitting volleyball team “Sofia Owls” – was also presented. We already have 11 people willing to play (4 in wheel-chairs) and 3 coaches to select from. Since 9 out of 11 players come from Mladost district, a new place was found in the University of Mining and Geology and the possibilities for practice are on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The training are about to start next Friday.

Another project proposal made by Mr. Jorg Shenk is the offer of used school furniture (tables and chairs) in good condition from Asbach, Germany and research is underway for interested elementary schools to receive this donation.

After the official part, the fellowship continued.
