Four long-time volunteers

The ladies (from left to right) Anna Maravea, Maria Kalafata, Aphroditi Terzidi and Alkistis Relli have been standing by children with motor disabilities and neurodevelopmental problems for decades. As long-time volunteers of the Rehabilitation for the Disabled organization (ELEPAP) on Kononos Street in the Athens suburb of Pangrati, they have have continued to offer their time and open their arms to youngsters since the 1980s.
