Early Years stories

Lasting, postive impact on young lives

Sanita attended kindergarten at our Early Years Centre in Fakulteta, Sofia in 2016-17. Eight years on, we caught up with her, and her mother, and asked them about Sanita’s time in the programme, her school experiences so far, and about her plans for the future.
