Albanian-born Leo Kadeli is the winner of the Enlightener of the Year campaign organized annually by the Bulgarian National Radio. For the first time in the 8-year-long history of the campaign, the winner is not a Bulgarian citizen. Half of all people who participated in the voting voted for him.

Leo Kadeli is the initiator of the association "Friends, help!", with which nearly 9,000 Bulgarian families have received support for house repairs, payment of bills, purchasing of wheelchairs, food, etc. "For me, it is important that the good exists and does not stop. I have and that's why I give. And my friends who support me, almost all of them have rather modest opportunities. They help in any way they can," Leo Kadeli told BNR.
The solemn ceremony at which the winners among the ten finalists of the campaign were announced took place on the Day of the National Revival Leaders and Enlighteners - November 1.

The special award of the Bulgarian National Radio was given to the teacher Teodosii Teodosiev-Theo, who has laid the foundations of a successful school of teaching physics and mathematics in Bulgaria, and many of his students are now in the world scientific elite.
The adventurers father and son Maxim and Stefan Ivanovi, who crossed the Atlantic in a rowing boat, in support of the campaign "Yes! For life!" for donating and saving human life through transplants, received the special award of bTV Media Group.

The deed of enlightening and awakening others is a lifelong pursuit, says the campaign's inspirer, Iva Doichinova, director of the BNR's Radio Sofia station.
