Youth Life Goes to Bulgaria >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>






3 guys from ‘Youth Life’ Tajikistan got the chance to visit Bulgaria to help vulnerable young people in one of its big cities!!!

Here is what they experienced:

“Yesterdays highlight was choosing the Lino for our break dancing team; we wondered around the shop rubbing each roll trying to find the shiniest surface!”

These 3 boys, Vitalik, Ilyos and Victor had been on the road for 11 days heading for Bulgaria! Then the 3 of them were in Moscow for another 6 days waiting for their visas.

The hosts in Bulgaria said:
”Yesterday I collected them from the airport and immediately fell in love with these quiet, humble young men.”

”They danced in the evening meeting and were amazing, the crowd went wild, afterwards Ilyos gave his testimony how his home and family had been transformed by the help and love they had received from others who cared.”

This trip has given these 3 young men new experiences, new ideas, new expectations and new abilities to train and care for others as others have trained and cared for them.


VITALIK, ILYOS, VIKTOR!! WOW,WOW,WOW.

Some statistics about this trip:
Outreach to Gypsy communities by local, English and Tajik people together.
700 Gypsies attended.
Several hundred young people came because of the break dance.
Gypsies are a negelected people group in Bulgaria and some live a extreme poverty.
Some similarities between Bulgarian language and Russian and Turkish language is similar to Uzbek.
