The humanitarian campaign “Parcels of Love”, organized by the Cypriot radio station “Astra” and the NGO “Cyprus Stop Trafficking”, has showed impressive results in gathering help to support 200 children living in the Municipality of Athens and facing the challenges of food crisis.
After the relevant appeal of the Municipality of Athens and the successful coverage of the needs of the 200 children by Friday, December 23, the campaign aims at expanding its activities in order to aid the ten thousands of homeless people living in the Greek capital.
According to an announcement, the warehouses of the Cypriot Post Offices in Latsia are already containing 2000 parcels of humanitarian aid and the next mission is expected to commence early next week.
Furthermore, money contributions are estimated so far at 30,000 Euros. This money will be sent in form of coupons, which will be cashed in several Greek supermarket chains.
The organizers of the campaign are appealing for clothes, which can be thrown into the special purple baskets of the NGO “Anakyklos”, found all over around Cyprus.
The response of the Cypriot people is astounding and the Turkish-Cypriots have also contributed to the overall effort.
Everyone willing to help this coordinated campaign, should address one of the 55 Cypriot Post offices.
