I was honored to host your visit to Sofia, Bulgaria for five days of expert audio description training. Your skill as a trainer has inspired our budding describers to pursue this important access technique. Your efforts introduced AD in my country for the first time ever and we are now planning to conduct a regional seminar for organizations from around Bulgaria, and from Greece, Turkey, Hungary, and Romania.
