1st Day of 20 Days of Service Event: Petar Parchevich School, Chiprovtsi
 |
| A prep session with the 7th grade over coffee. They helped during the event and were awesome. For me, not speaking or having too much of a role during the event is part of what made it successful; and, I'm sure, easier on everyone else as well not having to listen closely to decipher my Bulgarian. Palma, the English teacher emceed during the Q&A on water facts, the 7th graders asked questions and kept score, the Deputy Mayor helped with crowd control when the enthusiasm of the competing teams got to be a bit wild, Tsetska oversaw the race to sort trash, and Neda, Tsetska, and Raf judged the Carnivale costumes. |

 |
| The students of Petar Parchevich School were divided into 5 teams made up of 1st-8th grade. There were about 110 students. |
 |
| Participation and enthusiasm was amazing. They had fantastic answers-especially to the open ended questions like: how many ways can you save water in your daily routines? |
 |
| Timed race to sort trash: plastic, glass, paper, or compost? The winning team received Mardi Gras beads. At school today, some of the kids were still wearing them. |
 |
| Awards for best costumes |
 |
| Clean up. |
