Description
He was called a saint, an ascetic hermit, a man who doesn�t take money, an angel, a divine stranger, a traveler from the past, a beggar � Few Bulgarians have not heard of Good Old Dobry Dobrev, many are those who do not have the fainest idea of the true holiness of his cause.
This year Elder Dobry turned 99 and still continues to give selflessly to the others his only treasure � kindness and humanity. And at this advanced age he can be spotted from time to time throughout metropolitan streets in search of generous people to implement his cause.
Elder Dobry has been raising money for decades to restore churches throughout Bulgaria. He is not afraid of cold and bad weather, does not worry that he will remain hungry. He is not angry at people indifferent to his work. The old man radiates kindness and meekness. He is ready to kiss a child�s hand with a smile, dropped a coin into his box , to talk about God with every passerby, to thank for the charity.
