The choice of December the 5th, a date dedicated to volunteerism, as the opening date of the Exhibition is not accidental, as the value of offering to and from people characterizes both the field of volunteerism and the field of art. The curator of the exhibition, Giannis Giannakopoulos, states in his note:
"In art you learn to create, to share, to offer.
If you ask volunteers what volunteering means for them or how they can transfer their knowledge about volunteering, most will answer "you have to live it in order to understand it".
Volunteering is inextricably linked to the needs, dreams, ethos of every person who strives for a better life, a better future and a better society in which he lives and develops.
The 30 Photographers / Volunteers share the art of photography and teach us through their excellent images to share. Like children who know how to share".
We invite everyone to follow the example of the photographers and become another link in the chain of solidarity by buying one or more photos. Buying a photo that touched you, for you or as a gift for a loved one, in the approaching holidays or even later becomes a gift for a child in need.
All of us, in this special period we are going through, some more and some less, unprecedented situations and difficulties. In such circumstances, we realize the meaning but also the power of solidarity and of practical support. Families and children supported by Home-Start Hellas need our support today, more than ever!

A few words about Home-Start Hellas
Home-Start Hellas is a non-profit organization. Its main objective is to be next to families who at some point in their lives need a "friend". Someone who will support them and help them stand on their own two feet, gain confidence and improve their parenting skills. Volunteers, usually parents, who are carefully selected, trained and supervised in their work by a professional give their time and energy to act as supporters in these families -parents and children- and to confirm that where there is solidarity there is hope for a better world. www.homestart.org.gr
