Ha... actually my foster brother is from Sophia, and I have three friends from the Peace Corps who were stationed in Varna for two years! Feel free to send me an email anytime at phoenix@thegreenphoenix.com if you want to chat a bit....

As far as help for your "sales pitch," it might help if you were able to give us all some more details about the project you are trying to pitch -- i.e. crops to raise (fish vs. plants), reasons for intensive culture, location and also the groups of people you are trying to help with the project.

I will certainly help you, but I need some better direction and focus than you have provided.

Mr. Green
