"To share the horizon... with friends" is a pilot initiative of Zaedno -
Communication for Support and Development Foundation. It aims at
introducing a unique practice for social inclusion of people with
disabilities in Bulgaria, called "solidarity tourism." 
Between 10 and
12 percent of people in Bulgaria suffer form lasting disabilities,
statistic data shows. These people are compelled to live in isolation,
as the state cannot provide adequate conditions for independent and
fulfilled life. For the majority of these people the experience of
reaching a mountain top and enjoying the intoxicating view that is
revealed, is just a cherished dream.
The team of Zaedno Foundation are
people who believe that making one's impossible dream come true gives
meaning to our lives and expands our own horizons. This is what
motivated them to start the project "Sofia -a European capital: shared
space for all of us", which is financially supported by the
Municipality of Sofia. Five campaigns for solidarity tourism in the
Vitosha Nature Park were organized as part of the project, fulfilling
the dream of several young people to cross the vertical border towards
the top and have a wonderful day in the mountain shared with friends.
