The container finally arrived in it's proper location on Monday (Thank you Lord!) and immediately our contacts started to unload it into the storage area. Our contact said:
"Things seemed in good condition... maybe a little scrape here and there- but these things look great!"
Now they will decide where the items are all going and working out the final itinerary - I think we are going to be busy!
It looks like our base will be in a town we visited for the day last year. Lovely hotel in a very historic little town not far from the Greek border and the food was great! I remember some of the guys asked for a kebab and we got huge swords skewering large chucks of meat like something from a medieval banquet! They served a mean Trout from the local river too (at least, that's what the menu said but the river through town was more of a burn so It must have been from somewhere else)! We'll need to watch we don't come home a stone heavier!
Welcome!
Welcome to the Whitburn Pentecostal Church Bulgaria blog!
In 2010 a team travelled from Whitburn in West Lothian Scotland to South Bulgaria. While we there, we built a water source for a village of Romany outcasts who had no running water, electricity or other basic amenities.
This year (2011) we are going to Bulgaria again. This time we have sent a container of equipment donated by local schools in Scotland to be distributed amongst various sites in Bulgaria. Perhaps the best part of this is the childrens playground equipment that we will be installing in a primary school in one of the major cities in South Bulgaria.
Because Bulgaria is a Muslim country and because of security concerns, we cannot name our contacts or be specific about the location of the work being done in a public forum like this blog so apologies if sometimes the writing seems vague.
This blog will help you to follow the project as we prepare to go out, while we are there delivering the equipment and, hopefully, making a real difference to the lives of our Bulgarian friends.
