Was a lady none of us knew who was at the auction. She bid on several items and bought one or two things.Then she took off her necklace, a limited edition Vivian Westwood designer piece in solid silver with 13 diamonds and offered it to the auction.
I asked her if she was sure about it and she replied 100% sure. I actually ended up buying it for 400 levs and she was happy to let it go.
That - to me summed up the atmosphere and kindness that we received all week.

She was one of the Balkan Holidays educational group (a travel agent who's invited by the company). I'd like to say a big thank you to her as well, and to all the group and Daniel who showed their support for the event.

The young lady in mention was part of my group & I was very proud that my group got involved they way they did. There was about 20 of us sat there in the corner bidding on items & some of the group bought, won & even donated items. The spalding ski's were also donated by a gentlemen in my group. They were all Travel Agents out there on what is called an educational. They had been to Pamporovo & Bansko before to check out the hotels & sights before moving to Borovets that day.

The young lady in mention was part of my group & I was very proud that my group got involved they way they did. There was about 20 of us sat there in the corner bidding on items & some of the group bought, won & even donated items. The spalding ski's were also donated by a gentlemen in my group. They were all Travel Agents out there on what is called an educational. They had been to Pamporovo & Bansko before to check out the hotels & sights before moving to Borovets that day. We stopped our hotel visits at 3pm so we could watch the Ski A thong. I never got a chance to speak to Pete but I know Fraser, Sarah & Katherine quite well & I believe it was a success. The good news is that they couldn't stop talking about the orphanage the next day & as the group was from a large area covering from North Wales to Scotland to Ireland the coverage for this appeal with grow massively. My only regret on the night was that I was unable to give anything from my company, however I believe that extra baggage was sorted out for a few people. Keep up the good work
