Every Bulgarian grew up inspired by the heroic life of our national revolutionary Vasil Levski, who in the mid 19-teenth century fought against the Ottoman Empire and gave his life to free our country from a five century long occupation.
Those of us fortunate to have made San Diego our second home would like to keep the legend of Vasil Levski alive and instill his ideals for justice and freedom in our children born here and growing up in America. We also would like to introduce Bulgaria, its rich cultural tradition, history, folklore and art to our American friends.
We want our children to know our language and history and our American friends to understand our culture. With that in mind we have founded “Vasil Levski” Educational and Cultural Foundation. It is a non-profit organization that seeks to enrich our society with Bulgarian tradition and American friendship.
