Santa Claus came early to us and this thanks to "Social Support" and its president Anastasia Tsiakalou! They came with gifts, food, sweets, lots of love and together with the music choices of DJ Michalis, they gave all the people of EGNYA a wonderful afternoon. We all feel immense gratitude!
We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. All those who honored us with their presence and those who supported our cause financially. But most of all to our sponsors, who made it possible for us to have many generous prizes in the raffle. Without all of you we could not have done it!
The Greek-German Education visited us and helped in the preparation of baked goods for our bazaar. They had fun with the children and honored us with a plaque!
For another year our children marched with honour and glory and laid a wreath at the monument to the fallen, paying tribute and remembrance to the children of the Greek people, who actively shouted "NO" to the fascist attack on October 28, 1940. They filled us with pride!
Once again the Association of Alumni of the Neighborhood Schools was at our side. The Association's DRO team visited the facilities of the Home and entertained our children with games and gymnastics. We had an amazing time and thank you!
Our children attended the Cirque du Soleil-Quidam. We would like to thank Idrima Kokkori for the tickets they offered us, giving us a magical evening!
On Tuesday, September 9, a blessing was held at our facility and was attended by the entire Board of Directors, parents, supporters, and friends. Have a great year!

On the initiative of UPS of Greece, a volunteer celebration was held at our premises! Seventy UPS volunteers undertook the painting of our shelters. After the work was finished, they had lunch with our children, offering us pizza. We had a great time! We thank them all for their contribution of labor and materials, and for the smiles they gave our children!
