An official opening launched the
second National Children's Diabetic Camp "Touch the Rainbow",
organised with the support of Medical University - Varna and University
Hospital "St. Marina” - Varna. The event, which will take place at “Yuri
Gagarin” Education and Training Centre in SHC “Kamchia”, brought together plenty of
friends and guests, truly committed to the cause.
Official guests at the opening were
the Deputy Mayor of Varna Mr. Kosta Bazitov, the Executive Director of
University Hospital "St. Marina” Prof. Dr. Valentin Ignatov, the Assistant
Rector of MU - Varna Eng. Deyan Grancharov, famous sportsmen - Daniel
Borimirov, Darin Velikov, Titi Papazov, Simona Peicheva, coaches from FC “Levski”
and BC “Black Sea”, as well as singers and musicians. Fifty-six children and
young people with diabetes mellitus from the whole country will enjoy the summer
camp, and meanwhile a team of medical doctors, psychologists, pedagogues and
parents will take care of them. And the young people will have great fun with
plenty of music and games.
The camp was opened by Dr. Denislava
Angelova, the founder of “Touch the Rainbow” Association, who congratulated all
guests and expressed her hope that the camp would be popular and attractive to
children in the future too.
Prof. Ignatov addressed the
participants with the words, “The aim of the Association is to help children in
this condition, because this is a condition, not a disease, not only during
this camp, but in the future as well. Together we can overcome it! And I have a
request to all of you, children - let us stop talking about diseases, let us feast
our eyes on the warm sea, fine sand and the upcoming kids’ pranks! I wish
everyone a magnificent holiday!”
The awesome surprise for the children
came from the attractive performers Rudi, Duli, Muden & Kukusheff, who
invited them to take part in their last video.
Besides the variety of games and
entertainment, the camp programme for the next few days includes morning
training with FC “Levski” on 17th August and water rescue training
with the Bulgarian Red Cross on 18th August.
