A pair of newlyweds chose for this important moment in their lives, instead of giving wedding bombonieres to the guests, to donate money to the Charity Foundation “Agios Nektarios”. We thank you very much and wish you to live happily together!

Good month to everyone! We went to the countryside, like we do every year! We went to our cottage in Korakies. We played and ran with our bikes all over the yard! We ate together with the Administrative Council and the employees. We had great food ordered from a famous local barbecue diner! We drank soft drinks and ate ice cream! The weather was on our side and quite sunny! We all relaxed from our daily routine and returned late in the afternoon. Good month to everyone and happy summer!

On Easter Wednesday we met all the girls together with our employees and our Board to start our excursion! We went to the prefecture of Rethymnon. We made a stop at Petre in the church of the Sarawat Virgen. Then we headed for the village of Amari. But before we stopped at the river dam of Rethymnon. Arriving at our destination, we walked the canyon of St. Anthony and stood in its own chapel. We sat down for traditional Cretan food at the Drymos tavern. We traveled to the area there, to the playground and to the farm of animals! Then we stopped at Rethymno. We sat down in a central café in the old harbor of the city. We got ice cream and coffee escorts. It was a great dash!

Christ is Risen! Like every year, this year we gathered all the children and employees to celebrate the day. The weather was on our side as we gathered in our country house in Korakies of Chania, and the older ones took over the barbecues! We had a feast all together! We played, had fun and returned late in the afternoon! May we be all in good health next year, to do it again!

We had the pleasure of accepting a visit from members of the municipal council along with a fine group of representatives of the K.A.P.I. and the D.O.KOI.P.P. of the Municipality of Chania. They offered us presents and Easter treats. We were given handmade Easter breads and bagels from the K.A.P.I., beautiful greeting cards and handmade baskets with chocolate delicacies made in the creation centers of the Municipality! We thank them very much for their beautiful gesture. Happy Easter to everyone.

It’s a great day today! It’s the Feast of the Synaxis of the Three Hierarchs. After we went to the church to attend the Service, we went with the social workers for a walk! We went to the region of Vlites in MEGA PLACE. We played there in the playgrounds. We also enjoyed many rounds of bowling! We did a great job! Some of us played for the first time! Then we ate club sandwiches, burgers and drank soft drinks. Afterwards we ate waffles with chocolate! It was a wonderful walk and the weather was on our side!

The first excursion of 2018 was with the beautiful company of our Administrative Council and our social workers, where they accompanied us to the village of Therisos and in particular the tavern “ANTARTIS”. The owner and member of our council, Anna Giannaki, welcomed us there along with her husband. She treated us to dinner! We tasted the traditional Cretan cuisine. Everything was delicious and well cooked! His Eminence, Mr. Damaskinos surprised us with his presence and his blessing. We enjoyed chatting and playing games. We hope to all get together again soon! May everybody have a good year!

We celebrated Christmas in a festive and joyous mood. A sweet reason to get acquainted with the new Administrative Council. Konstantinos Costourakis is the current President, Mrs Zacharenia Anastassaki is the Vice-President, Nektarios Kalaitzakis is the Treasurer, Mr. Athanasios Lavranos is the Secretary and Anna Giannikaki is a Member. The presence and blessing to our table was given by the Bishop, Father Amphilochios and Father Emmanuel Petrakis. We took our presents, our balloons, we chatted and we sang. Thank you all! May everybody live a long and healthy life!

Don’t think that being playful and carefree, is all there is to us. When we are at home, we have our responsibilities, our jobs, and now with our school our homework!

It’s Sunday! A day of rest, a day of carefreeness. A day of walks and a respite from our daily duties. All the older ones enjoy each other’s company. One for all and all for one!
