ANNUAL ACTIONS

For the 3rd consecutive year, our Association organizes the Easter event "With the light of the heart III". The volunteers of our Association, with a sense of creativity, have put up this year's handmade Easter collection, which consists of: A) Handmade scented candles in 20 different designs for children and adults, in special gift packaging. B) Wooden lanterns decorated with beautiful ornaments for our little friends, which can be addressed to the recipient’s name. C) Fabric bags with handcrafted butter cookies, made of small batch produce ingredients, decorated with Easter patterns of sugar paste, and with the possibility to write a wish or the recipient's name on it! By choosing to buy and gift an item from our handmade Easter collection, you are making someone loved, happy, while you are helping a fellow human being in need and supporting our Association.

On the occasion of the 7th birthday of our Association on February 8 2023, we organized for the fourth time the original action "Share Love", which this year acquired a nationwide reach. More specifically, on the day of our Association's birthday, 1777 handmade bracelets, made of ecological materials with a wooden heart, and 1777 greeting cards, were distributed to guests and patients of a total of 15 elderly care units, psychiatric clinics and rehabilitation centers in Drama, Koropi, Thessaloniki, Komotini, Kavala, Karditsa, Veria, Larissa and Patras. Our main goal was to share love, to celebrate together and to demonstrate in practice and in a symbolic way that we support our fellow human beings who are in the specific units.

By choosing a christmas gift from this year's handmade ecological collection, you can give love and bring smiles to your loved ones, while at the same time making your donation and helping a fellow human who is going through a difficult time.

Hundreds of school bags and boxes with countless new other school supplies were collected and distributed to 1000 students of all ages from the Ark of the World, the Greek Children's Village in Filiro, the Orphanage for Girls of Thessaloniki "I Melissa", the Orphanage of Volos, the 5 Social Services of the Prefecture of Drama, the Child Protection Branch of Drama, the Child Protection Branch of Kavala, the Association of Friends of the Disabled in Soufli and the Region "Thread of Life", the KE.KO.P .A.P. Municipality of Soufli, the Association of Parents & Friends of Autistic People of the Prefecture of Evros &Saint Basil, the Social Structures of the Municipality of Rethymno and the Social Welfare Center of the South Aegean Region (Rhodes), with the aim of giving love and smiles at the start of the new school year.

Our action gained Pan-Hellenic scope thanks to the unprecedented and highly moving response of the world. A total of 300 children in need from the SOS Children's Villages of Thrace, Vari, Crete and Plagiario Thessaloniki, the Orphanage for Girls of Thessaloniki "Melissa", the Child Protection Branch of Kavala, the Association of Friends of the Disabled in Soufli and the Region "Thread of Life", the 5 Social Services of N. Drama, as well as the Child Protection Branch of Drama, received the Easter gift of their desire from the anonymous "Godfathers of Kindness".

As every year, this year our volunteers created our Easter collection with various handmade candles, which we made available to the public, so that through donations we achieved our main goal, that was to offer humanitarian work.

For the 6th birthday anniversary of our Association on February 8th, the volunteers symbolically prepared 6,000 hand-made white flowers and 6,000 cards that were distributed in cars, so the receivers would take them, smiling happily and feeling warmth. The purpose was that the residents would be motivated in order to offer flowers to their loved ones in turn, thus creating an endless chain of love and joy. The white color of the flowers is a symbol of purity, innocence and conveys a sense of peace, tranquility and hope, feelings that are important to spread in order to alleviate the difficulties of everyday life

During Christmas we help “differently” (in another way)! For the 4th consecutive year, the volunteers of our Association crafted our handmade Christmas collection “for all these you have in your heart”. By choosing a Christmas present from our collection, everyone can share smiles to their precious ones and at the same time make a donation to our Association, contributing to our humanitarian work.

For a 3rd consecutive year, the Wall of Kindness gathered and donated school supplies (bags, notebooks, cases etc.) to students in need. More particularly, we collected and distributed 200 school bags and 50 boxes with new school items and plenty of stationery to the five Social Services and the Department of Children Protection of the municipality of Drama. At the same time, being aware of the needs that were created by the unfavorable conditions of the fires in August and in collaboration with the Union of Secondary Education State School Teachers of the municipality of Evia, many school supplies were distributed to students from the fire-affected areas, offering simultaneously love and children’s smiles for the new school year.
