  • We stumble. We pack. We returne to stumble, we go back to pack. Sometimes we stumble but do not even care. Before you know it, every day we stumble and pack up again and again parts of stories of love and wonderful imaginary trips.<br />
The power of imaginagy worlds and infinite dreams, live  scattered over a entire house. They came from any supermarket shelf or high street store and immediately become part of everyday's life of a child. Discovered by tearing the wrapping paper or simply when given in hand , they come to life. Some have been given a name, others have come with one. Some will be treated well, others less so. Dolls that will delight any child.<br />
Together they will make a sucessful team by creating love stories, friendship, monsters, pirates and happy marriages forever. Current adaptations to future experiences in a present under construction. There are no bedroom, living room, bathroom or kitchen that wont received these pieces of life. <br />
No matter the warnings that parents do, in a gentle or rougher way, however songs imported from school (it´ssss tiimmmeeee to pack, ♫ to pack, to paackk ♫...) it never seems to work, nothing  will make them stay in order.  But what does it matter? nothing will make a house more beautiful than decorated with dolls and toys all together gathered  with children sharing the same rest, when the evening runs longer and quiet ?

They dance during hours the ring dance while grandparents and parents watch the way the young interrelate. Many girls dream to be married by the rite imposed by the tradition.

Unemployment rate grew from 8.5% in 2008 to 25% in 2012 (source: Hellenic Statistical Authority).<br />

  • Athens, Greece - Afghan kids play in an abandoned park in the centre of Athens. In Greece, the deep recession due to the Austerity Measures imposed by the Troika (European Union, European Central Bank, and International Monetary Fund) coincided with the worsening in life conditions of both the native population and the immigrant one. The latter had to face not only an enormous increase of poverty and unemployment -often leading to homelessness- but also the rise in popularity of Golden Dawn, an ultranationalist party which got 18 seats in Parliament after June 2012 election. G.D. propaganda and actions are all based on racism and hate towards the foreign communities, blamed to be one of the main causes of the crisis.<br />

They received some financial support from the government, from organizations, volunteers, and from friends and family. They were dependent on the support in order to survive.
