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.

Nuts 'n' bolts!

You may think I am describing the team but I'm not! Who new how hard it would be to source a few measly nuts, bolts and screws to replace all the rusty ones from the playground equipment? Today is the day of trawling round the local builders merchant (Screwfix, B&Q, Builders supply co.) to get a few from each place. It's good job I'm going there for other things for my house at the same time!

All plans are in place now and we are patiently(!) waiting for Sunday to come around. No news from the team to share with you - hopefully they'll be more talkative when we are away!
