Management

Ivanka Shalapatova

Director

i.shalapatova@detebg.org

My personal slogan is: „If there is a will, there is a way.” The thing nobody knows about me is: There are few things that are not known about me, especially by my relatives. However there are deep layers of the soul that always will remain my private realm. I work in “For Our Children” Foundation because I cannot let children live alone, I cannot let us adults ignore the emptiness in children’s eyes…for such are the eyes and the world of abandoned children. »
