People were informed about the procedure for receiving the money and by whom it was provided.
"I am very pleased, of course. With this help we will welcome Easter like everybody else. The children will be very happy," a single mother of three children told BTA.
Paslar urged attendees with Bulgarian citizenship to participate in the Bulgarian parliamentary elections on April 2 and Barbarov told them about the plans of his organization.
