The day is June 28, Friday, the rain is starting to rain hour by hour. Somewhere in the heart of Sofia, about 20 representatives of various patient organizations from all over the country have gathered. The occasion is another meeting of the Program for Increasing the Capacity and Expertise of the Patient Community in Bulgaria. More specifically, the topic is "Functioning and Management of Non-Profit Legal Entities". More precisely, the place is the Social Space "Click".
What brought us all together at this training is what everyone has achieved in their patient field. A sense of pride, dignity, mixed with despair and pain, powerlessness and resentment. A familiar feeling for those standing up to challenge the system for change. Some have recently established their organizations and are full of optimism. Others are more selective in their enthusiasm, while others are firmly seated in their chairs and bring the resilience of experience with failures.
We learned a lot, consolidated a solid part of our knowledge. What really charged us with optimism and faith was that there are many more like us, and many more are just starting out... and the new acquaintances with such colorful, colorful, different and inspiring people, each who refused to reconcile with the fate of the patient and swam against the current!
Thank you to the organizers, speakers and hosts from "Click"!
P.S.
In your opinion, can someone be prohibited from donating his work?
It turns out that it is possible.
For example, if you are an accountant, you will be prohibited from donating your work to a non-profit organization, even if it is for public benefit*. Instead, for such criminal support, you will be rewarded with a fine.....fine...

* These organizations function entirely in the public interest, and upon termination of their activities, the accumulated assets are transferred to the state. Such are patient organizations.
