Colorful Easter celebration for the children of Sofia: 1,500 eggs will be painted in the park in "Mladost 3". For the third consecutive year, the "It Depends on Us" foundation is holding one of the most anticipated and beloved family events in the capital - the Great Easter Egg Painting!, writes BNR.
The organizers invite all children and their families to a colorful and joy-filled celebration under the open sky, shared about "Breakfast on the Grass" Maria Tonchina from the "It's Up to Us" Foundation, organizer of the holiday.
She pointed out that there is no need for the children to bring anything, but they will be able to take the painted eggs or made baskets home, and the goal of the event is to bring together children from different groups in one place to see that they can have fun together, create a community and promote volunteerism, Tonchina explained to the Bulgarian National Radio.
This year the challenge is big - 1,500 eggs will be painted. Each child will have the opportunity to leave with their painted eggs - a gift for the holiday table.
The "Great Easter Egg Painting" initiative is now an annual event that creates communities and attracts more and more public attention to volunteerism in our country. Even more exciting this year is that some of the volunteers who will implement the event are students and young people who join on their own initiative. The event is free and everyone can join.
The "It Depends on Us" Foundation is engaged in promoting volunteerism in Bulgaria and runs the Humanitarian Center of the same name, located at "Mladost" 4, where they work with over 600 vulnerable families. They regularly send humanitarian aid throughout the country. The Humanitarian Center accepts food products (packaged and canned), diapers, baby food, etc.
In 2024, the first Toy Library in Sofia was created at the "It Depends on Us" Humanitarian Center.
"The Great Easter Egg Painting" is organized by the "It Depends on Us" Foundation in partnership with Sofia Municipality – Mladost district.
