CORFU. Once again The Smile of the Child is holding a nationwide campaign to collect school supplies for children from families in need.

The Smile of the Child is inviting everyone to help these children to start the school year with dignity and a smile!

In a few days schoolchildren and their families will need to obtain a lot of expensive school supplies for the new school year. For some families it is a time of happiness and a new start, for many others, however, it is a time of anxiety and worry about how to provide their children with what they need.

Last year The Smile of the Child was able to provide school supplies for 3,798 schoolchildren thanks to the overwhelming response from the public!

This year even more help is required from everyone due to the insecure situation of thousands of families and their children throughout the country!

On a daily basis, The Smile of the Child, through its Child and Family Support Centres which operate in many parts of Greece and through its activities, supports thousands of children and their families who live in or under the threat of poverty.

- School bags for primary and secondary

- School atlases (geographic and political)
