An online event was held recently (26 October), at which Alzheimer Bulgaria introduced its work in front of the students of the American University in Bulgaria.
The main theme of the presentation was “How great it is being a volunteer”. Two volunteers from Alzheimer Bulgaria talked about the project “European Solidarity Corps”, which gave them the opportunity to become part of the association. They shared how they help, what motivates them and what the volunteer work brings to them.
They also talked about Alzheimer’s disease, the social and political problems that patients and the carers face, as well as about the projects on which Alzheimer Bulgaria is working.
The participants at the meeting showed great interest in the theme of the presentation and asked questions about the illness and the help which the volunteers give in order to improve the lives of those affected. They were invited to become part of the team of volunteers and to apply for the project “European Solidarity Corps”, next year. Some of them accepted the invitation and are now volunteers for Alzheimer BulgarIa.
