Over 500,000 leva were raised during the charity mini-season of the show “Your Face Sounds Familiar for Every Child,” organized by Nova Broadcasting Group and UNICEF Bulgaria. For three consecutive nights, eight duets of popular celebrities and young talents took the stage to support three important charity causes: “Protection for Every Child,” “A Voice for Every Child,” and “Best Start for Every Child.” As a result of the campaign, nearly 85,000 people became donors to UNICEF.
From the collected amount, 100,000 leva will be directed towards helping children and families affected by the devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria. UNICEF teams are working on the ground to provide aid to those affected.
The finale of the event was exciting, with DesiSlava and Elena Vasileva taking the win for their brilliant performance as the legendary Cher. Before that, Magi Dzhanavarova and Bogomila Yaneva won over the audience with their rendition of Whitney Houston. The finale began with a stunning performance by the children from “Bon-Bon” and Margarita Hranova, which brought the audience to their feet.
The show's judges – Iliana Raeva, Vesko Eshkenazi, Nikolai Doynov, and Magi Halvadjian – highly praised the talent of the young performers and their star duet partners. Other remarkable performances included Titi Papazov and Vasil Kanev as Dancho Karadzhov, Kalin Vrachanski and Alexander Markov as characters from the movie “Aladdin,” and Krasi Radkov and Georgi Tsvetanov as Elvis Presley.
The first night was dedicated to the cause “Protection for Every Child,” which fights for the prevention and protection of children from violence. The second night supported the cause “A Voice for Every Child,” which helps non-verbal children in Bulgaria to express themselves, communicate, and learn. The final night focused on raising funds for the initiative “Best Start for Every Child,” aimed at the physical, social-emotional, and cognitive development of the youngest children, up to the age of 3.
