UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador Marianna V. Vardinoyannis carried out a humanitarian visit to refugee children hosted at the Schisto Open Center of Temporary Reception on Wednesday, 18 December 2019.
With a heart full of love, Mrs Vardinoyannis visited the children to offer them necessities, gifts and sweet treats. The children welcomed her with smiles shining on their faces, and moved her deeply by offering her lovely crafts they made at the Structure’s Kindergarten. Mrs Vardinoyannis thanked them with a warm hug, and offered presents to every child and toys for their Kindergarten.
Mrs Vardinoyannis then asked to be briefed in detail about the needs of the children and committed to ensuring that vaccines and medicines will be sent to the Structure’s Clinic promptly, in addition to consumables for the Kindergarten.
This was Mrs Vardinoyannis’s third visit to the Schisto Open Center of Temporary Reception, as she has been trying from the outset to assist in addressing the problems refugees face in our country.
