• NATO base hosts Bulgarian market
The Salvation Army in Bulgaria, which officially opened this year, set up its first Christmas market last week – on a NATO base.
As well as selling Christmas items to raise funds for its Christmas campaign, soldiers on the base can also purchase gifts for local children in need as part of The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree campaign.
“The soldiers can help make the little Christmas dreams of these children come true,” said Captain Inna Lebedeva, divisional leader in Bulgaria. “We thank the NATO Social Work Department in Bulgaria, with which The Salvation Army has been cooperating here since 2021.”
Bulgaria is part of the Eastern Europe Territory which also includes Georgia, Moldova, Romania and Ukraine.
