"Life skills against hunger" training was held in the orphanage institution in Gutcal village (60 km. from Sofia). Over 30 children and 20 volunteers had a Walk together and life skills training. Creative art session "Building a City of Dreams: City Without Hunger" was held.

That was the first event of a long term life skills training initiative inspired by Walk the World campaign, that will be realized by youth volunteers. The program is focused on orphan and institutionalized children in Bulgaria.

One of the biggest pastry-shops "Sladkarnica Nedelia" has supported the event with a huge cake, snacks and drinks. Gender Education, Research and Technologies Foundation has supported the event with training materials and supplies.

A photo survey was held with students, Sofia citizens and businessmen. People discussed the statement: "What can I do to reduce children’s hunger?"

Over 30 Bulgarian youth and social civil organizations all over the country have sent a letter of solidarity with Walk the World campaign and declared interest to take part in the demonstration for the next year.

The event was anounced on the Social Rights Bulgaria information portal and the press release was disseminated to all bigger newspapers, TVs and electronic media.
