President Rumen Radev's "Support a Dream" charity initiative has attracted the support of musicians, stylists, designers and donors, the head of state's press secretariat said. A prom hosted by the president each spring brings together high school seniors from social services, foster homes and special schools for students with disabilities.


This year's event will take place on May 29, and the artistic programme will feature young Bulgarian celebrities. With the help of the Fashion Academy, the youngsters have already received their ball gowns and costumes. A team of stylists will take care of the graduates' hair and make-up.
