DMS Campaign to Complete the Roof of the Old School in the Village of Sturhel

01.01.2026
We have launched a DMS campaign to complete the roof of the old school building in the village of Sturhel – a place we are gradually bringing back to life as a space for learning, community gatherings, and shared experiences. Thanks to the joint efforts of volunteers, local residents, craftsmen, and donors, two thirds of the roof have already been repaired. This is an important step toward preserving the building and securing its future.
For the remaining one third, we have already received donated wooden materials – a generous gesture from people who believed in this cause.What is still needed are funds for the remaining construction materials, a skilled work team, and roof tiles, so the repair can be completed and the building protected before winter.

How you can help:
By sending an SMS with the text DMS POKRIV to 17 777 (cost: 2 BGN), you support the completion of the roof and everything that will take place beneath it.The collected funds will be used to finish the renovation and to turn the building into a safe home for the future Green Educational Center in Sturhel.

We are renovating the old school in the village of Sturgel (built in 1930) to transform it into a cozy and magical Green Educational Center. The project involves the reconstruction of the building, originally built through voluntary work and donations from local residents nearly 100 years ago. The school ceased functioning in the 1980s and was later sold with the idea of becoming a retirement home. Today, as the property of the Association for Shared Learning ELA, we aim to restore some of its educational functions, turning it into a space for informal learning that blends traditional crafts with modern technologies. The project envisions accommodations for 64 children, two halls, an indoor stage, a bistro, a large veranda, and a 4-acre yard with demonstration and sports facilities. The workshop will include a cooking studio, a technical lab, and a music room. Partial completion is planned for 2025, with full completion by 2026. To date, over 800,000 BGN have been invested.
