Hello, dear Baba supporter!

Hope you're nesting somewhere safe and calm, despite the many societal madnesses, which we're facing and reacting to daily (especially if being in Bulgaria!)!

We, however, hasn't had the luxury to stop functioning as an organization, even though we're facing 2 months (for now) without salaries. We keep supporting our Babina zadruga (Baba cooperative), consisting of old ladies, who knit vibrant wollen socks, which bring them additional income and support or Baba Residence initiative for the next year. 

For the Bulgarian readers of you, we invite'you to check in our Lyutenitsa newsletter - we had our annual Baba Residence alumnae meeting in Oslen Krivodol village in October for the occassion of lyutenitsa making, but really - for having one more reason to meet, connect and catch up on what's important for all of us - rural well-being.

We kindly ask you to be with us in the following 10 days and support us in the following ways:

  • Order Baba socks - we have 3 new models (behold the first new model called Winter sunrise in the header) and 3 most cherished classical ones. Write us here or at info@ideasfactorybg.org if you want to order Baba socks as a present for a loved one.
  • Be with us on the 2-nd of DECEMBER! The annual GivingTuesday campaign is around the corner and we really, really need your support this time - please, donate, share and spread our project page on 2-nd of December, the hope-bringing Tuesday!

 

Thank you for your presence and persistence,

with love

Yoana and the Ideas Factory team
