On 23 September from 18:30 h. Foundation „"For The good"“ willdiscover the exhibition „"Children's hospitals в Bulgaria: 5 yearscare".
Five years after as с exhibition in front of The People's theatershowed in front of society the heavy condition on children'shospital departments в the country, The foundation againchooses yes show what is happens, when one dream fora different children's hospital becomes an action.
The exhibition traces the path from the first "I Will Not Pass By" through the creation of the "Firefly" project to 12 transformed pediatric wards in different parts of Bulgaria. It will remain at the Bridge of Lovers until October 5, 2026 and is realized with the support of the Sofia Municipality.
In 2021, the For Good Foundation is collecting photos and stories from different parts of the country. They show the reality in
a number of children's hospital wards - mold, leaking pipes, broken furniture, outdated spaces and rooms without basic conditions for children and their companions.
These shots become part of the exhibition "Children's Hospitals Bulgaria 2021". The message then is short: "Don't pass by."„
From this dream, the Firefly project was born. Initially as an idea to show that a children's hospital ward could look different, and subsequently as long-term work for real change in the pediatric environment.
Today, the For Good Foundation returns with an exhibition in a different location and with different photographs.
The new exhibition showcases 12 transformed pediatric wards in different parts of Bulgaria – from old and dysfunctional spaces to environments where the architecture, colors, furnishings, and organization are tailored to the needs of the child, the parent, and the medical professionals.
Five years of work on "Firefly" show that change is possible. And the dream of a children's hospital, rather than a decent hospital, can be transformed into a real environment for thousands of children and families.
Five years after the first exhibition, the question is no longer whether children's wards in Bulgaria can look different. The accumulated experience shows that they can.
Today, the question is: how can a good environment and good care stop being the exception and become the standard for every child in Bulgaria?.
„"Five years ago we asked people to come, see and not pass by. Today we invite them again - this time to see what can happen when we don't pass by. Our dream now has its real places - children's wards, which show that the hospital environment can be different," share the "For Good" Foundation.
