讓 愛 傳 出 去

98 歲的 Dobri Dobrev，在二次大戰時失聰， 他每天都從村莊走 10 公里路來到索非亞市，度

過一天行乞的生活。 最近，一些城市教堂和慈善團體發現， 他捐贈給需要復修的保加利亞教

堂， 還有孤兒院水電雜費的 40000 歐元，是他每天乞討一點一滴儲存起來的，而他每月則僅

靠 80 歐元的國家養老金在生活。

愛的辭典裡沒有乞丐的標籤，只有人性的善良，不是我們向這位老人施捨財物，而是他在

向這個社會施教什麼是愛！

98 year old Dobri Dobrev, a man who lost his hearing in the second world war, walks 10 kilometers from his village in his homemade clothes and leather shoes to the city of sofia, where he spends the day begging for money. Though a well known fixture around several of the city’s churches, known for his prostrations of thanks to all donors, it was only recently discovered that he has donated every penny he has collected — over 40,000 euros — towards the restoration of decaying Bulgarian monasteries and churches and the utility bills of orphanages, living instead off his monthly state pension of 80 euros.
