Nice to see a brand new school finally open in Sofia after nearly 30 years. The water blessing and Patriarch Daniel’s words about kids learning to tell good from evil hit home, especially on the first day. Hope the little ones at “Angel Karaliychev” get stuck into their books with that same Bulgarian love of learning he mentioned.

It's nice to read that after almost 30 years a completely new school building has finally opened in Sofia.

Our son is now in third grade - I hope his teacher speaks so clearly to the children.
