There are many ways to participate, and with modern communications and relative ease of travel, you could keep track and don't loose connections, even if you are not phisically "there". Also, having the perspective from living under different set of rules, allows you to compare and propose changes back home. Many, many bulgarians abroad still care deeply about our beautiful country and I personally know several who have returned to try and fight the fight on home turf. And you certainly are aware that throughout history large bulgarian diasporas all around the Balkans and beyond have been involved with preserving culture, language and shared history and that begginning of the 20th Century it was standard practice to go study in Western Europe or Russia and come back home with top notch education. You sure are also aware that believing in good strong education is one of the tenets of our people, that has endured uninterrupted for more than a half millennium, from the times of the Paisius of Hilendar,through our unique, and unfortunately lost community cultural centers[O] and up until today.
