Never judge a book by its cover


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 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.



p.s. 
Stanley Kubrick was born and raised in The Bronx. I am not sure if he ever donated any money towards blizzard haunted hotel renovations causing cabin fever to Jack Nicholson...



bye.
