Christmas holidays always give us extra reasons of joy because we get to spend time with our loved ones in a festive spirit, opening up presents and sitting around the table enjoying the delicacies of the days.
But, while Christmas is a time for giving and sharing with your family and friends, it can also be used as an opportunity to give to people that are less fortunate. There are so many organizations with people engaged in exemplary works of giving and for this year, Danaos decided to help three of them that were in need.
- Agalia (“Hug”), a Charitable Nonprofit Organisation providing special care to mothers and babies, offering protection to women through pregnancy and after the baby is born. We supported Agalia through the purchase of baby and newborn products.
- We bought shoes for the “Panhellenic Association of the Big Families’ Friends”, supporting a great number of families all over Greece.
- “Kivotos tou Kosmou” (“Ark of the World”). The “Ark”, in collaboration with Prosecutors for Children, protection agencies and services for children’s rights, undertakes to raise children who have been subjected to abuse, neglect and very bad living conditions. We offered mainly groceries and cleaning products.
It’s the joy and love that we extend to others that brings the true happiness in our life. The gift of joy will come to you when you give of yourself to others. That’s what life is all about! As Winston S. Churchill stated “We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.”
