News Slancho
A day filled with colourful costumes, games, dancing, laughter and shared joy!
Children with special needs deserve their own celebrations too – the excitement of getting ready, the music to dance to, the games to take part in, and the friends with whom they can share happy moments.
It is important that they have opportunities to have fun and feel accepted, loved and part of their community. Not just on special occasions, but every day!
A special thank you to… Continue reading
Yesterday was one of those days that stay with you long after the balloons have been taken down, the flowers have been placed in vases, and the last guests have left.
We celebrated 10 years since “Equilibrium” took on the responsibility for managing the United Children’s Services “Sluncho” – the “Mother and Baby” Unit, the Day Centre for Children and Young People with Disabilities, and the Family-Type Accommodation Centre for Children Requiring Permanent Medical Care.
Ten years are not… Continue reading
Sometimes a gift is much more than an object – it is a gesture of kindness, care and compassion.
We are delighted to share that the children at Sluncho Children’s Integrated Services have received a wonderful gift – a swimming pool generously donated by Burak Pehlivanov.
This is not the first time Burak has supported our children, and we are deeply grateful that he has once again chosen to stand by them. Thanks to this generous donation, the… Continue reading
Our little Sunbeams
The family-type accommodation centre for children with severe disabilities and in need of constant medical care is one of eight social services entrusted to the Equilibrium Association by the Municipality of Ruse.
But this place is much more than a social service.
It is a home. A home where children with serious diagnoses and difficult prognoses live—children whom the system often says have little chance of a long and fulfilling life.
However, we believe otherwise.
We believe… Continue reading

EQ in 2020
There is ability in every disability.
What happens when you close your eyes and rely only on your sense of touch?
We asked this question in the context of a film produced in July, 2020 (Link: https://eq-bg.org/en/to-feel-the-bridge-over-the-danube/)
The film shows activities from a series of “tactile workshops” hosted by EQ and Ruse’s regional history museum.
What is a tactile workshop?
We invited participants to explore a variety of objects through the medium of touch while… Continue reading
The Parents’ Self-Help Group formed 1 year ago at the Daycare Center for Children and Youth with Disabilities, managed by Equilibrium, is now gaining strength.
We have always been very keen to create a takaav for parents of children with disabilities attending the services at the Day Centre “Sunny”, because parent groups are a place for sharing, questions, discussions, meetings with specialists, exchange of experience and useful information and most of all for mutual help. During the meetings, sensitivity and… Continue reading
Yesterday, 14.09.2023, the children of the United Children’s Services “Sunshine” celebrated their 7th birthday from the management of Equilibrium under the theme “Sunny in the first grade!”
At the celebration, our guests were firefighters from the second brigade of the Ruse Fire Brigade, who on the occasion of the firefighter’s day showed the children the fire truck and gave them the opportunity to climb into the car and handle all the equipment. Games and treats were organized… Continue reading
On the 5th of May some of the young clients from the daycare centre took part in a sports celebration. Divided into three teams, each with 4 players, the children took part in the “Sporting together” tournament organized by the Ruse Municipality on the occasion of the city’s festival day. The children performed excellently in all disciplines, winning the first places and adding three golden cups to the showcase at the centre. Parents were happy with their children’s… Continue reading
