Petar Zhotev will soon make his dream come true – he is going to study natural sciences at Cambridge, because the more than EUR 93,000 he needs has been raised, the Podkrepi.bg donations platform has announced.

Petar, who is a graduate of the Sofia High School of Mathematics, recently won his third gold medal at the international high school biology student Olympiad.
