Colouring Easter Eggs at Home for Elderly People

From the voluntary club we very much like to do initiatives for the Home for Elderly people "Veneta Boteva". On the 1st of May it is the orthodox Easter and the tradition is that on the last Thursday before eggs are coloured. So on the last school day we gave our afternoons and went to the home to bring a little colour to the elders' lives.

Actually everything was almost ready - the eggs were boiled and we just had to colour and decorate them. I think the grandma' and grandpas were very happy. We even had one more surprise - our coordinator Mrs. Petarcheva had bought books for them and now they can have at least a few new ones in every room.

Andrew Lloyd Webber's Musical "Joseph"

The Varna Theatre is doing the musical "Joseph" by Andrew Lloyd Webber in theatres in cities all over the country. On the 21st they came to our town - Veliko Turnovo. Because art is such an important part of life we decided to organise ourselves and go to see the musical.

I must say that I was impressed. The musical was top-notch. The dancing was almost as good and the singing was absurdly good. I spotted a few other minimal downsides but all in all it was very good, especially for a troupe from our country. Not all of my classmates shared my amazement, but I guess they did not like the genre. Maybe if they had seen an opera they'd think differently...

Internet Safety Course

Nowadays it is the age of computers. With all the positivities that computers bring to our life, some negative aspects come as well. Violations through the internet have become very common and people need to know how to protect themselves and for what to be careful.

This is why the internet safety course, which was conducted at our school, was very useful and quite interesting. I could say that I didn't know much of the stuff before and now I am somehow prepared to act in every case.

Much of what we heard and saw was actually a little disturbing. There are some people who are extremely creative in the awful deeds like abduction that they do. Our instructor, a woman who professionally is concerned with violations of that sort, instructed us what to do in case we suspect something.
