From the archives: anti-traffic campaign from 2004

by: Georgi Stankov

It was the spring of 2004, and I was the campaign organizer of the project "Regional campaign for human traffic prevention, towns of Haskovo and Dimitrovgrad" of Maxima Foundation - Haskovo.

Introducing cyclists to the route
This project was part from Care International Bulgaria's project "Traffic prevention from, to and through Bulgaria", financed by Vienna municipality. 

Project's aim was to make the local youths aware about the human traffic. I had planned and organized an informational and preventive campaign. One of the hits in the project activities was a bicycle race in Haskovo.

The winners

The competitors had to travel several kilometers in the rough terrain of the hill Yamacha.

The boy with the black sweatshirt finished at 1st place. His name is Lyubomir. 

Behind him is the participant with second best result - Veselin. 

I do not remember the name of the third guy. 


A special prize for the youngest participants
On the photo in left are the wonderful twins Ralitza and Pavel Ilievi from Haskovo. At the time of the race they were 12-years old.

Young, but experienced and well equipped, they won everyone's respect.
