St Cats Acts Presentation

Social Responsibility Program

Why as a family?

The economic crisis in the recent years in Greece is making many people’s lives difficult and sometimes intolerable.

Shelters and institutions strive to manage to accommodate the needs of the people and children they take care of.

The number of the people in need is getting larger and larger every single day.

On top of that we are facing a great humanitarian issue: the refugee crisis.

More than 500.000 migrants have arrived in Greece by sea this year in their effort to reach European countries for a better future.

Do you ever wake up in the morning wondering‌..

What difference will you make today?

How will your family impact the community?

Whose life will you touch?

If you do, then get active now and volunteer at St Cats acts!

A socially conscious family bonding program that engages acts of kindness designed to give back to the community and people in need.

Mahatma Gandhi
