Sort-of-a-unique thing in Bulgaria (compared to rest of EU) is not only close ties with Russia in economics but actual nostalgia of the "old-times". While Polish or Hungarian people would never want to return to comunistic times, we sometimes do. I'm not sure I can exactly pin it down why, maybe it's the close language, culture and shared alphabet or it could be that we are particularly nostalgic nation. In any case it creates a constant feeling of being the "Trojan horse" of Russia, being used by their economical and political interests with a nation that swigns back and forth electing the old-comunist party (that not changed at all other than their name s/comunist/socialist/) and the "Right/central-right" pro-EU (on paper at least).
For many in my generation (90s), the dream of leaving the country has been propagandized by parents who were never able to leave themselves due to the Iron Curtain. Many would attest getting the Serbian radio close to the border in a desperate attempt to hear something "western". As much as the nation longs for the old-times, it longs for the West. And the split is maybe about 50/50. However few would leave for the East and many, many would flood the gates once we entered EU 12 years ago.
12 years ago is when late 80s and 90s children were graduating. We didn't have much idea exactly what is bad with the country, as no teenager knows too much. But we all saw the opportunity and we've all heard the stories of the successful uncle who managed to "fix their life" abroad. So we flocked. Cheap flights accelerated the process, free education in some countries like Scotland and the Netherlands. So the "brain-drain" was accelerated. If people could leave before with hard-obtained visas or illegaly, now it was easy and free for all.
Yet, 12 years later we are still the poorest country in EU with the poorest overall north-western region which was once one of the most prosperous regions back when aggriculture was the main sector. Turism and services instead is now the main sector and sure, there are some companies that are succesful, the low salaries compared to what you can make abroad is worth a bit of home-sickness endurance. It's hard to get out of it with the open borders - it's a feedback loop as more "brain drain" happens, less innovation and money can come towards the country and corruption proliferates.
Think what problem you are facing with the web right now and how you would solve it. Don't solve a problem for a thousand or a million people because all of them will have different problems. Start with you. Do you not like the interface? Do some css play, mockups on gimp or pen and paper.
What are your queries usually? Take a look at your own Google history, find and try to group what you are looking for and what would you ideally find that Google/other search engines don't satisfy.
I understand your desire to do something "revolutionary". But most things are incremental.
This is shifting the problem - there is no meaning so whatever you say to yourself will be your meaning. It's the same as deciding to be happy - the moment you decide to be happy, you are happy. Done.
Anytime someone tells me to do less flying, driving or eating fcking meat, I link to [1] and say: STOP FCKING - or at least stop having children.
The most actionable item (that is of course MUCH harder than not eating meat) is doing something to to convince the nations with most children per woman [2] to have less. But this is not easy - joining organizations that would educate women and doing volunteering or even dangerous work is insanely hard. Not buying meat, recycling and not riding your car seems hard for western people and so you FEEL like you are doing something, but you are not.
I will not have children but do 50 transatlantic flights this year, eat all the meat, hell, I'll even teach myself to drive a car just to show off how useless these individual actions are. You can't convince the world, stop CHANGING the world and change yourself, seek data and find the most actionable item. Jeez!
I am truly sorry for your situation. I wish you all the best with being able to get the support needed, push science and open research forward and potentially save your child (and many more human beings) from this immense suffering.
However...

Why do we keep having children? Every life comes with a death sentence and immense amount of suffering. This child will have more than average.
Any rational or self-proclaimed rational human would quickly decide against these odds. Did you not know them? How do you decide to have children having this probability of impact (if people actually decide or we are just biological machines following our animalistic trend).
Overpopulation is the same as obesity crisis - lack of control.
But don't take it from me, here is why RMS won't have children [2]
Apart from all that, having a child way, way overshadows any other effort on climate change [3]. Deciding not to have JUST ONE child and you will "deserve" multiple transatlantic travels, cars, eating meat, not recycling and more...
If you can afford it and can controll yourself at all - stop having children.
For the couple(s) that already crossed that treshold - again, all the best. For the couple(s) that haven't and know this information and then you suffer - it's on you.
Flag me all you want because I wrote that in anger. But get the message around somehow.

Using the right-hand rule: knowing the direction of spinning, if you point your thumb up and wrap the other four fingers in the direction of rotation, the thumb will be pointing North. Oposite of that is South. East can then be defined along the direction of spinning (eastward or counterclockwise looked from North, the way Earth is spinning) and West - opposite to that, clockwise looked from North, opposite the direction of rotation.
