Young learners from Farleigh brighten up a Bulgarian orphanage

Twelve young learners from a college for students with learning disabilities have helped transform the environment and gardens at a Bulgarian orphanage.

The young people, who attend Farleigh Further Education College Frome, gave up two weeks of their summer break to give the orphanage in Berkovitsa, North West Bulgaria, a much needed makeover.

The 16 to 21-year olds, with a range of learning disabilities, helped plaster and paint walls including creating images of Mickey Mouse and a Jungle Book scene to brighten up corridors.
