Thanks to partners, donors, builders, and a donated plot from Varna Municipality, we managed to build and relocate our entire activity to a new building that meets the needs of children and families. The building features modern architecture, plenty of light, open spaces, and an eco-friendly interior. The project is tailored to Karin Dom&#8217;s requirements, with facilities including rehabilitation halls, a pool and baby bath for hydrotherapy, a Montessori centre, children&#8217;s demonstration kitchen, diagnostic rooms, sensory room, medical centre, training facilities, and an inner courtyard with children&#8217;s playgrounds. By constructing this new specialized centre, we continued the legacy of Karin Dom&#8217;s founder, the Bulgarian diplomat and philanthropist Ivan Stancioff.<\/p>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                     \n                                    \n                    <div class=\"year next-years\">\n                        <span>2021<\/span>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"timeline next-years  \">\n                                                    <div class=\"accomplishments\">\n                                                                    <div class=\"left accomplishment-item\">\n                                        <div class=\"panel\">\n                                            <div class=\"image\">\n                                                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/karindom.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Group-10648.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\">\n                                            <\/div>\n                                            <p>On 24 November 2021, we lost a great Bulgarian, a man with a big heart and strong faith in Goodness!

At that time, it was the largest abroad, with 240 children aged 4 to 18 attending.<\/p>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                                                                                                                                                                    <div class=\"left accomplishment-item\">\n                                        <div class=\"panel\">\n                                            <div class=\"image\">\n                                                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/karindom.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/karindom-2016-03.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\">\n                                            <\/div>\n                                            <p>Karin Dom&#8217;s training team has been invited to train and support teachers in kindergartens across the country as part of UNICEF&#8217;s &#8220;Together from Kindergarten&#8221; initiative.<\/p>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                     \n                                    \n                    <div class=\"year next-years\">\n                        <span>2015<\/span>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"timeline next-years  \">\n                                                    <div class=\"accomplishments\">\n                                                                    <div class=\"left accomplishment-item\">\n                                        <div class=\"panel\">\n                                            <div class=\"image\">\n                                                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/karindom.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/karindom-2015-03.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\">\n                                            <\/div>\n                                            <p>Specialists from Karin Dom and their colleagues from all over the country completed a course on therapy for children with cerebral palsy based on the Bobath concept.
