The story of a child with disabilities and of the people, who take care of him in the conditions of hatred against social workers in Bulgaria

What are the social conditions, in which the social workers do their job in Bulgaria? What do they pass through in their daily acitivity? The correspondent of the Bulgarian National Radio in Rousse Asya Pencheva constructs her radio story on the basis of contradictions. On one hand, we hear the voices of the citizens, who protest against the Strategy for the Children, becuase in the protesters’ view Scandinavian NGOs want to steal Bulgarian children. On the other hand is the story of a child with disabilities, which was adopted in the USA. The radio story tells about the efforts of the social workers and doctors, who save the life of a child in need.

This story was given to the blog “The Bridge of Friendship” by Asya Pencheva.
