The creativity of young talents became a powerful tool for social change during a unique art workshop in Pomorie. The initiative "Good Doers with Gratitude to God" united over 30 children in a five-day creative adventure, jointly organized by the Sliven Holy Metropolis, the Municipality of Pomorie, and the famous artist Neli Todorova.

The participants in the workshop had the opportunity to develop their artistic skills under the guidance of experienced teachers and spiritual mentors. The program was extremely diverse - the children learned the basics of drawing, choral singing, and most importantly, acquired important human values such as kindness, gratitude, and empathy.

The official closing of the event attracted the attention of distinguished guests, including Sliven Metropolitan Arseny, the famous poet Nedyalko Yordanov, and Prof. Ognyan Gerdzhikov. Anton Lalev from the "Humanitarian Activities" directorate congratulated the participants, and the musical program was performed by talented singers Ana Boyanova and Emil Kalev.

The culmination of the workshop was the charity exhibition, where all created paintings were offered for sale. The result exceeded expectations - most of the works were sold even before the official opening of the exhibition.

"Our joint work with the Metropolis gave birth to a true miracle," shared the organizer Neli Todorova. "We managed to collect an impressive 3,085.80 leva, which will be donated to a child in need and their family". The initiative proved that art can be a bridge between people and a source of hope.
