The Vice-Regional Governor of Health and Social Solidarity, Mrs.Dermendzopoulou Melina-Maria, supports the work of our Organization and was pleased to welcome us in her office to discuss solidarity and how it is expressed in our society today.
In a festive atmosphere a few days after the great celebration of Easter, we offered gifts of love for many years to come and exchanged ideas for more acts of love in order to create a better world.
In a climate of emotion and joy, the ceremony of donation of valuable evaluation tools from the Organization ''ACT OF KINDNESS'' to the General Hospital of Thessaloniki ''Hippocrateio'' took place in the building of the Center for Developmental Pediatrics "AP.FOKAS" of the 1st Pediatrics Department. In the framework of the collaboration of the Act of Love with the "A.FOKAS" Center for Developmental Pediatrics of the 1st Pediatric Clinic of the General Hospital of Thessaloniki "IPOKRATEIO", the Organization, with its own resources, proceeds to meet an essential need with the donation of valuable assessment tools that allow the diagnosis and better evaluation of children with neurodevelopmental disorders who come for diagnosis. This enables early intervention, which is considered extremely important for the rehabilitation of such disorders, as well as contributing to the overall improvement of the child's functioning and promotion of development.
This donation, apart from being an act of love, is first and foremost an act of duty to a public hospital and by extension to Northern Greece. From today the Center for Developmental Pediatrics "AP.FOKAS" of the General Hospital "IPOKRATEIO" is the only center in Northern Greece that will have a complete package of assessment tools for the entire age range of the children who visit it. A donation of love and support to each child and his/her family. An act of deep gratitude and practical thanks to the medical, nursing and other scientific staff who tirelessly carry out their work.

A few hours ago, the airlift of our beloved Christina - Areti from Crete to Athens was successfully completed, which was organized and executed under the supervision of the ''Act of Love'' Organization and with its own resources. The airlift of the 28 year old student, who suffers from Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 2 (SMA), was carried out in cooperation with Greek Flying Doctors, the Crete Ambulance Service and the Attica Rehabilitation Center. The need for the immediate transfer of the young student to the center was imperative as her health condition has deteriorated rapidly and according to the doctors who are monitoring her, her undergoing the necessary treatments is the only hope for a substantial improvement in her quality of life.
Today we all together managed to offer a first chance to Christina - Areti's life struggle. However, the road is long and we need to stand by her side in order for her to be able to "have a more functional and dignified everyday life" as she says.
We continue to dynamically support her struggle. Together we can!
