The Bulgarian chitalishte is not only difficult to pronounce for non-native speakers. It is also very difficult to define. Literally, it means "reading place." But in reality it also means a library, a community house, an amateur theatre, a meeting place – all at once. Translating it into English is difficult as the institution of a chitalishte does not exist in the English-speaking world.

So the chitalishte in my village needs 5 more traditional folklore costumes in addition to those 15 we already have.

All donations will be used to buy these costumes.

Each cost around €130.

The sun is not huge but for our village and all the people who do volunteer work there is impossible at the moment.

We use these costumes for performance and traditional music contests. They are also different for every part of the country so we need to have them done partially for our region.
