TWO businessmen closed their offices for two weeks to help disabled orphans in Bulgaria.

Tim Roe and Chris Sercombe of Epex Net UK in Chinns Court, Warminster, helped refurbish facilities at a children's orphanage in Gorna Koznitza.

They revamped the bathrooms and toilets as part of Reachout Bulgaria, a charity that helps Bulgarian children.

The orphanage is tucked away in a remote mountainous region of the country and houses around 50 mentally and physically handicapped children.

Mr Roe said: "We are very glad we went on the trip, it was extremely worthwhile.

"We helped improve the lives of some very unfortunate children and you could not help but be touched by the whole experience."
