He works at „Speedy“ AD, but at the same time he is also an amazing artist. He proposed to start free lessons, drawing trainings and workshops for all trade union members of FTTUB.

Our young people used the event again to present their activities and campaigns, impressing young Egyptians who are in Bulgaria on an exchange program. They were fascinated by the activity and desire of committee members and promised to attend  next event, organized by us.
