A man who lost his hearing in the second world war

Meet 98 year old Dobri Dobrev , a man who lost his hearing in the second world war. Every day he 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 the utility bills of orphanages living instead off his monthly state pension of 80 euros .

Don't forget to share :)
