NADEZDA RANGELOVA

Chairman of the "For Good" Foundation

My energetic and extremely optimistic nature convinced me that an uncompromising spirit is my strongest point. I cannot, do not want and will not believe that children's health care in Bulgaria can remain at this level. I strongly believe that with small steps and persistence we will achieve change and build something better for our children - a safe, calm and positive environment during their stay in hospital facilities. I am a mother of two amazing children. I love children, nature and delicious food.

POLINA TROYANOVA

Firefly Project Coordinator

I am a mother of two boys and I have a wonderful family. My profession is a restorer, but this is also my way of thinking. Very often, when I see something, I imagine it in its best light. So it is with paintings and icons, and also with buildings and the care of children in hospitals. I joined Project # for Good because I believe in the power of doing things together. From that moment on, I got another family!

SVILENA GEORGIEVA

Deputy Chairman of the "For Good" Foundation

I am a mother of two children. I am a freelance journalist by profession. I participate in Project # for good, because I believe that my role as a citizen does not end with paying taxes. In one of the smart books it was written that people know each other not by their words, but by their deeds.

Magdalena Slavova

Chief Architect "Firefly" Project

She is our true jewel that only found us. She contacted us with a desire to help and has been an inseparable part of our team ever since, endlessly dedicated to every cause. Magdalena is an architect and designer in one – a dream that came true for us.

She is an example of how heart, skill and desire for change can combine in one person and inspire.
