All Bulgaria Virtual Guide

All Bulgaria Virtual Guide Network - ABVG.Net - is the sole property of myself, Richard Zastrow, USA citizen, 200 Parkside Place, #308, Garnett, KS USA tel. 785-204-3173.

If some of you folks out there would like to help All Bulgaria Virtual Guide Network spread knowledge of the Bulgarian land and at the same time become a part of our growth and success, I need some plain old money. Any donations will go to help keep All Bulgaria Virtual Guide Network alive and growing. I know that most people expect sites to be free, but All Bulgaria Virtual Guide Network is my personal endeavor and not a company web site. Such niceties as corporate backing are not available (of course, if you are a corporation, I sure could use your help also); neither are government grants and give-a ways, or the billions spent on other world cultural endeavors.
