A
TALE IN REAL TIME
Once
upon a time, in the distant year 2002, in a small and lovely country
called Bulgaria, in a city called Varna, on the shore of the Black Sea,
an organization was created by people who have not lost hope and faith
in life.
Due to their persistence, they created a home, not
a castle, a home like the one of Hansel and Gretel. But unlike in the
fairy tale, the people there extended hope and managed to find a way
into the hearts of those who have given up.
The people working at the center believe that love and hope have the
power to save, heal, and make us better human beings.
When
we have even a modicum of faith, we pass it on to someone else and that
someone to a third person, and so on, creating a line from one person's
heart to another. This is generally missing from our lives.
When
we take this path as individuals, we receive something that is not
material, but spiritual. What leads someone to think about his life,
the roads he has taken and the ones to be taken. For each person who
has visited the support center with pain and trouble, the fire of hope
was on the verge of going out. The goal for the volunteers at the
center is to light that fire once again, to give them hope to face
their despair with courage and strength.
So if one
day you visit Varna, do pass by our center. Look at the tree in front
of the building which seems to stop all evil on the doorstep. I assure
you that this house is not in the dark forest, there is no evil dragon
here that kills hope. There are good people who, despite difficulties,
dedicate their days to helping others. They become good fairies,
demonstrating that cancer is not a conviction and not a border beyond
which no light exists.
Your life is your story. Only you can "write" it
with a happy ending!
