Help needed for journalism group in Samokov, Bulgaria

US Peace Corps volunteer Ursula Kirk wants to launch a newspaper

Peace Corps volunteer Ursula Kirk, serving in Samokov, is working with an NGO called Tolerance for Everyone.

Its focus is on building peaceful and friendly relationships amongst the diverse youth of Samokov. Some of the young girls in the community would now like to start a journalism group and produce a monthly one page newsletter whereby they would write articles about local, national and international current events.

As a Peace Corps Volunteer, Ursula is helping them find ways to create this newspaper. In order to start the enterprise the group urgently needs a laser printer. Ursula wonders whether anyone out there would be willing to donate a printer.

"I think that this project would be great to get the youth more involved in the community and they are really looking forward to it," Ursula told The Sofia Echo.

If you would like to get in touch with Ursula, then you can contact her on ursulakirk@hotmail.com
