Volunteering

Sofia Symidala, President of Edu4all

The non-profit organization Edu4all and the Athens College organized a festive dinner on the occasion of Thanksgiving Day at the Grande Bretagne Hotel, highlighting the need to strengthen volunteer programs in education.

“Volunteering is not imposed, it is an offering of the soul.”
“In this world, which is becoming increasingly narrow, each of us needs everyone else. We must seek out the human nature of people, wherever it may be. When Oedipus met the Sphinx on the road to Thebes and she posed her riddle to him, his answer was: man. This simple word defeated the monster. We have many monsters to destroy. Let us reflect on Oedipus’ answer.” — George Seferis
