Karavelovo calls for volunteers to deliver food and protect houses from marauders

In the affected villages of Karlovo, there is a pressing need for volunteers who, in addition to clearing up, will be involved in delivering food and water to the families that have been torn away. In addition - there are increasing reports of marauders going around and robbing people's abandoned houses.

Anyone who is able can go to any of the affected villages and help as the situation continues to be dire. Appeals for help also appeared on social networks.

Because of the marauder raids, the police have offered local residents to join the night patrols.

"The affected families at first continue to need volunteers to clear mud and trash from yards. We also need a new initiative because of the many increased burglaries and looters that are going around the houses. We are calling for volunteers - necessarily local residents - to patrol in the evening with the police because they can more easily identify suspicious persons and outsiders," explained the coordinator of the local crisis headquarters in Karavelovo.

So far there is food, but more supplies will be needed soon - water, canned food, bedding, pillows, mattresses. There is also a great need for new clothes, socks and shoes.

Since the kindergarten in Karavelovo was also affected, the children will be transported to the branch in Karlovo, where they will start the school year. The village kindergarten itself needs 20 beds, as well as tables, chairs and toys.
