Wonder festival


Wonder Festival” in Gazi
That was a nice Sunday stroll. In Gazi, the old gas factory of Athens, now transformed into this magnificent industrial museum, the 1st volunteering Athens Festival took place.
There was a big crowd, some driven by curiosity, others by the true will to offer and others just to take advantage of the last glorious days of summer. Whichever was their intention, they were all taken by the tornado of inspiration and offering!50 teams of volunteers, all created by private initiative, were present and willing to share their dreams and experiences, to be motivated and empowered, to sensitize us on this gigantic issue of social contribution.
From protecting stray animals, abused women and the environment to assisting minority groups, forming a greener urban landscape and healing through art, they were all present exchanging ideas and reassuring each other.

Miracles DO happen when we believe in them!
