Bulgaria Needs:
1. Books—new or second hand—including curriculum, teacher aids, Christian literature for kids, and other materials that will be good for homeschooling.
2. Other homeschoolers who could share about homeschooling.
3. Assistance to get rights for publishing homeschooling books and materials in Bulgarian. In Bulgaria we have homeschooling moms who know English and can translate books and articles into Bulgarian.
