Ivan’s story: My childhood at Rudnik

16.02.2018

In this short film Ivan recalls his time spent at the institution and explains why, thanks to Lumos, he is looking forwards to a brighter future.

Nothing was good about that place.

This is how Ivan describes Rudnik, a state institution in Bulgaria where he spent his childhood. It housed 35 children with disabilities and was described by Ilia Lliev, Head of Social Services as a depressing place, where children were confined to their rooms with no toys or personal belongings.
