I had the opportunity to meet the community in Neofit Rilski in 2022.

Since then, I have seen how they work miracles – tirelessly.

The Cooperative will be the instrument that will catalyze the processes that were slowed down by state repression against this very community. I believe that my contribution to this association will be my contribution to the “ZASHTITNITSITE” Cooperative.

Onward!

I became a co-op member so that the construction of architectural houses of such scale and cultural heritage, found nowhere else in the world, would not stop.

Authentic, not artificial – and it will endure through the ages.

On his deathbed, Kubrat called his sons to share something important with them. The descendants of the great ruler gathered around their father, waiting to hear his final testament. The old Khan showed them a bundle of arrows and asked his heirs to break them. No matter how hard they tried, none of the sons succeeded. Then Kubrat untied the bundle and began breaking the arrows one by one. Looking up at the young Bulgarian nobles, he said:

"- As long as you stand together and support each other, you will be like this bundle of arrows—no one will be able to defeat you. If you divide, you will become weak and easily conquered by any enemy. Know that strength rests upon unity!..."

This is how I understand the purpose of the "Zashtitnite" Cooperative! I am one of the arrows in the Bulgarian bundle!

I witnessed the fierce, systematically organized attacks against a little piece of heaven in which I see real meaning and a healthy, Orthodox environment for families with children. I myself went through attacks by the state machine—attacks directed at my own child. As a free-thinking parent who wants a proper upbringing for her child, I saw in the "Zashtitnite" Cooperative an opportunity to return to our roots, to unity, and to the testament of Khan Kubrat.

I consider it my duty to be part of a community, a new society that truly wishes first to preserve and support what has already been built. Though fiercely attacked, it wants to forge ahead in building more idyllic places where more children will have the opportunity for personal and community development. I consider this community to be the most awakened and active at present, and I want to be part of it. I am glad to see and know people with a similar mindset—a mindset because of which people in my circle used to call me crazy, telling me that nothing could be changed and that I should just accept it. No, I will not accept it. I will stand united with anyone who has raised their head and said that things cannot go on like this.

Everyone here is wonderful, and I respect and honor each person in this cooperative, because the truth has always laid in unity. The future is there; our history has shown it to us repeatedly. It is time we start learning from it, rather than just telling stories about it.

Thank you, everyone, for existing!

Why am I in the cooperative? Because I believe that together we are stronger.

I am a member so that we can build a just, solidary, and dignified future—not only for ourselves, but for one another.

The cooperative is my choice for freedom, support, and real change.

I am a member because I want fair distribution, honest labor, and a dignified future.

The 'Zashtitnite' cooperative is a noble deed of like-minded people, of people who ACT and build, create and most importantly – love and protect BULGARIA!

Through the cooperative, we will provide opportunities for work and for the development of villages. What is built remains for future generations!

I am a member of the cooperative because I believe that only united will we revive Bulgaria!

Thank you for being here, like-minded friends!

I also made the decision to become a member of the 'Zashtitnite' cooperative, because I saw what was created by Ivelin Mihaylov and the investors in Historical Park, where deeds speak, not words.

This makes me part of a community of people who stand in solidarity to achieve a noble goal, namely: TOGETHER WE CAN

Greetings from me to all patriotic Bulgarians, current and future members of the 'Zashtitnite' cooperative!

I have listened to every word Ivelin has said and watched all of his videos and those of his like-minded associates, and I needed no convincing.

I fully believe that everything possible – and even the impossible – will be done to make this idea a reality.

The cooperative is a form of association with great potential. There are ways to complete ongoing projects and launch new ones that will expand our horizons. I assume you all know that cooperativism allows people with more modest means to invest, providing greater security than banks.

I also believe that we must actively participate in rebuilding and restoring our country, which is why I became a co-op member.

I am one of the first members of the cooperative because I unconditionally trust the people who tirelessly and selflessly work to raise our homeland and our people back up.
