Hello everyone!

We are very proud to announce that our long-term project CityU Charity is now an official CityU Initiative! Since the beginning of this Academic Year 09/10, we have developed and worked on realizing this initiative which aims at helping children and young people who haven't the chances and the opportunities we have with both financial and social support! The CityU Charity Initiative will be focusing on different Charity Projects depending on the trimesters' holidays and celebrations as well as the needs of those we help.

We have planned three projects this Winter Term for raising money for the the orphans in "St. Ivan Rilski" Orphanage in the Razliv Village that will improve their education environment with materials and technological auxiliaries.

Our first project is featuring St. Valentine's day the whole Week 6, when you will have the opportunity to buy home-made Charity Heart Cookies by us and donate the money from your purchase to the "St. Ivan Rilski" children.

You are also invited to the CityU Valentine's & Trifon Zarezan Party @ the City Caffe right across the university's door on Tuesday, February 9th @ 9P.M. where you can donate whatever additional amount of money you are able to, help yourself with free white and red wine and enjoy the lovely party atmosphere!

The second project we developed will be featuring Baba Marta the whole Week 9, when you will have the opportunity to buy hand-made Charity Martenitzi by us and donate the money from your purchase to the "St.Ivan Rilski" children.

We ensure you that your donated money will be used directly for purchasing new education materials and technological auxiliaries that will improve the education atmosphere in the "St. Ivan Rilski" orphanage. Later on we will provide you with photos :)

Just because children do not only need financial support but also a social one, we decided to make a Charity Movie Night in their orphanage so that they will feel a little bit more loved and taken care of. For all you that want to participate in this event, please contact us @ parliament@cityu.bg

As your colleagues we know that you are very likely to help those kids receive what we always had, so we hope that you will respond to our call for help the "St. Ivan Rilski" children!
