The Sun was generous on the last Sunday of
November to the young friends of animals, who
under his friendly rays launched AFA Nominations
with an action of the Eco-Patrols ‘For an Eco-City’
series. The nomination category for which the
patrols will compete requires them to be kind
and persuasive, so that messages of the ‘AlVi’
Project for Humane Education reach more Sofioters.
The first info Eco-bulletin, which reached,
due to the eco-patrols, the owners of dogs,
walking their pets in Yuzhen Park (Southern
Park), reminded of the good care, which man’s
best friend, the dog, deserves. Some dog owners,
on Eco-patrols discretion, received Dog’s Health
Calender.

Sofia newly-elected Mayor congratulated the young Eco-patrols
for the responsible mission undertaken: raising awareness
for Ethics of non-violence and tolerance. The delivery
of the ‘Eco-patrol’ badges personally by the first female
mayor will be a kind remembrance for the Eco-patrols
from ‘Asen Zlatarov’ Home for Children Deprived of Parental
Care from Nadezhda District in Sofia.

AFA will assist the children from Nadezhda
to mantle new kennels for the dogs they have
rescued. Not long ago kennels made by the children
were demolished by order of the principal of
the Home. We believe that the young Eco-patrols,
aided by AFA will change their principal’s view
of animals and nature. A ‘Flying Squad’ action
for deworming and inoculation of the dogs in
the neighbourhood of the Home will be assisted
by the Eco-Patrols.

of the then Sofia Mayor and incumbent Prime Minister,
Gen. Boyko Borisov, who planted a Tree of Harmony as
a symbol of the efforts to make the world a better place.

who by the means of music and theatre start their journey
through the subtle relationship of man and nature. Every
