Greeting from the Vice President for June 1st
Dear children, stay healthy! Make your bold dreams come true! This is what Vice President Iliana Iotova wrote on Facebook on the occasion of June 1st – International Children's Day.
We, your parents, will always be by your side! Happy holiday!
Iotova emphasized that society and the state still have a lot of work to do to ensure a happy and peaceful childhood for all Bulgarian children. She highlighted the need to protect children from dangers and for them to grow up in an environment of love, support, and an equal start.
Verses for reflection
The post begins with inspiring verses by Elisaveta Bagryana, which remind us that caring for children is a collective responsibility. Iotova calls on us not to forget children in need, by sparking joy in their eyes:
- "We sprout and grow like mushrooms in the field..."
- A call for empathy toward hungry and sick children.
- Hope for a world where joy does not fade.
