80% of young girls from children’s homes in Bulgaria end up as prostitutes on highways or city streets across Europe. Unless they are lucky, boys end up learning how to beg to live from day to day. There must be a better life to look forward to than this.
My Bulgarian registered charity, Phoenix Inspire www.phoenix-inspire.org aims to give these youngsters a different life by training them to become chefs or restaurant staff in the hope that they will live a better life. Training is provided free with the food and equipment being paid for or donated by supporters and friends in the UK. Our efforts are making a difference.

I plan to take three such youngsters to England from the Children’s Home in Novo Selo near Vidin in October. The trip will enable them to meet friends and supporters of Phoenix Inspire, visit a number of catering colleges so that they can watch how young people are trained in England and speak to a number of students. It is believed that this trip will enable them to see a different country, raise their aspirations and stimulate them to aspire to something better in life. The Vidin region has recently been identified as the poorest region in the whole of Europe.
I am in the process of raising funds for this life changing trip and wonder if you would be in a position to help. There will be 5 of us travelling for one week. I appreciate that you must get many requests for help but your kindness and support could make a significant difference to the future lives of these children. Would it be possible to allocate 5 return tickets from Sofia to London? What a treat it would be for these youngsters to travel with your airline for their first ever trip outside of Bulgaria. As a frequent flyer with your airline I know that they will enjoy the experience.
As mentioned before, this visit to the UK is designed to inspire these youngsters to see beyond poverty and deprevation and strive for a better life. Phoenix Inspire’s motto is Creating Opportunities, Inspiring Success. Your support would help create a wonderful opportunity and I believe, without doubt, inspire future success.
Your help and consideration will be greatly appreciated.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best wishes
