Grateful for Community’s Generosity
Once again, the generosity of the Mykonos Community is evident through the donations received recently by the Cancer Association.
The Mykonos Cancer Association would like to express its gratitude to individuals and entities that made donations this month. This financial support is extended to our friends and neighbors who are fighting cancer. Air or boat tickets are purchased for those who must travel to Athens for their therapy and for those who do not have their own accommodation in Athens arrangements are made through AirBnB properties or hotels closest to where treatment will be administered.
In May, generosity came through as follows:
1500 euros DEYAM
500 euros Educational Project
500 euros in memorium
DEYAM (The Municipal Water and Sewer Service of Mykonos) 1500 Euros
In Memory of Mihalis Apostolou 500 Euros in total from
Rich and Liz Stern, Kate Waldron and Kathy and Zanis Vasilas
500 Euros from and educational project that ran from January through May initiated by educators Maria Theocharis and Maria Tsoukalas.
The educators commented about the program that generated 500 Euros in donations:
“We created a voluntary program for children of preschools that were 5 years old. Every Saturday we met at Mykonos’ Vocational High School with the permission of the municipality. Children attended from January through May. They practiced preschool exercises, read fairy tales and used song as part of the process. The parents whose children participated in the program, although free, wanted to create a fund to be donated to the Cancer Association to honor this effort. As educators and philologists, as mothers of kindergarteners we offered this pilot program to the island with great pleasure.”
