A HFH Bulgaria photo exhibition of will be shown on 20 - 27 November 2009 at Sofia Airport, Terminal 2. The exhibition aims to raise public awareness of the issues related to the provision of adequate housing for the children in this country and shows some of the approches for solving the housing need that Habitat Bulgaria has adopted. It showcases three of our main projects.
We are aware that an exhibition will not solve the problems, but we hope that it will open doors to partnerships with like-minded organizations and people because the provision of adequate and acessible homes can only be influenced by the joint efforts of the state, the busines and NGO sectors, and by every single person.

To celebrate World Habitat Day, on 6 October 2009, we organized a drawing session for the children from the village of Hristeni where our project Home Improvements for Prevention of Child Abandonment is developing successfully. The children from the pre-school year painted their homes and self-portraits. All the drawings are on their way to HFH in the UK where some of them will be used to produce a Christmas card.

On 29 September 2009 Habitat Bulgaria took part in a series of events aimed at sharing the achievements and approach of the Deinstitutionalization and Prevention of Abandonment of Children Program run by a network of partner organizations. More than 100 participants attended the events organized by ARK Bulgaria in Stara Zagora.
The Program is aimed at reducing the number of children raised at social institutions by developing alternative services and demonstrating models for deinstitutionalization in accordance with the national policy and European practices.
Habitat Bulgaria is one of the key program partners, providing loans for home repairs to families with children where there are health and social risks.
