Dear Friends,
Bulgarians lead by example. We see this time and again, in everyday situations and emergencies, most recently in support of earthquake-stricken Türkiye and Syria. Bulgarian citizens and civil society organizations began collecting aid within hours of the disaster, while volunteer rescuers from around the country joined local aid teams on day 3. The state response was swift as well: Bulgaria was the first EU country to send aid and relief workers to the affected areas.
We created Leadership Education in America Program (LEAP) in recognition of Bulgarians’ leadership potential. In February, we selected the first fifteen individuals who will embark on a three-week journey of personal and professional advancement in the United States through the program.
Here we highlight two additional opportunities, Muse Academy and the Bulgarian National English Spelling Bee. Spelling bees improve students’ English and communication skills, while ABF’s newest training program, Muse Academy, helps museum professionals design memorable exhibits and increase museum attendance.
