Students from Five Peshtera Schools Clean Up Recreation Areas Near Peshtera

On June 11, as part of the initiative "Colorful Peshtera," sixty children and their teachers from five local schools collected various waste in the area of the Mushroom and the Cross near the St. Constantine resort. The event, organized by "Biovit" AD, aimed to make the recreational spots more inviting and clean.

The children gathered plastic boxes, old TVs, bottles of mineral water, packaging from soft drinks, burst balloons, napkins, and other litter left behind by visitors. They were equipped with gloves and bags, after which they started hauling away the trash.

During the cleanup, participants noticed that most of the waste was hidden in the grasses along the roadside, right where people come for leisure. On a small hill, the children enjoyed a view of Peshtera and shared that they often visited this area with their parents or friends.

During a visit to the area near the Cross, students also found an unusual discovery – plastic packaging related to televisions, as well as bottles of "Paradise Gas." Despite the availability of trash bins, cigarette butts and small debris continue to be scattered around the recreational spots.

In addition to cleaning, a teacher from SOU "St. Kliment Ohridski" showed the children some herbs such as White Yarrow, Thyme, and Chamomile, turning the initiative into a lesson on herbalism. After about an hour of work, all participants were satisfied, and the organizers expressed gratitude to the students, teachers, and the Municipality of Peshtera for providing gloves and bags. The ownership of the collected waste will be managed by the municipal cleaning company.

As a supplement to their efforts to promote a healthy and active lifestyle, "Biovit" AD donated a set of balls for football, volleyball, and basketball to each of the five schools, intended for outdoor play.
