The Virtues Project struck roots in Bulgaria in 2006, through the work of Terry Madison and Bertha Petruski. In 2009, the Family Virtues Guide was translated, as well as the Virtues Project – Educators Guide. The Foundation team trains teachers in several schools in Sofia. The work of the Foundations inspired another foundation, “Blagotvoritel”, to train over 600 teachers and over 15 000 students.
