For those who don’t like Christmas
For everyone who has long since tired of all the Christmas hype and the gift-giving marathon. Donate instead of giving! Make a small donation for the children of Ikaria.
- Support our “Heating oil for schools” project, which is always up to date.
- Support the graduating class of the Lyceum as they collect money for their school trip. Read the touching report: Oskar and the graduating class
- Support the Diagoras sports club, which offers children sports such as football, basket and volleyball as a leisure activity and for many young people the possibility of a sensible alternative to video games/hanging out etc. exclusively through volunteer work (my husband, for example, trains the very little ones). My opinion on this: Sport is the best drug prevention, yes you read that right, unfortunately there is also a drug problem here due to a lack of perspectives.
You can go directly to the donation accounts here. Please note in the subject line of your donation either heating oil, graduating class or sports club, and I will make sure that your donation ends up in the right place.
