The Association’s  Action spreads in two directions; informing the public opinion about transplantations and handing out application forms on organ donation.

LECTURES - ACTIVITIES

Our Association has repeatedly organized lectures on Organ Donation to several schools and municipalities.

In May 1997, our Association undertook the organization of the 1st Panthellenic Festival on Organ Donation, in memory of the Anonymous Donor, in collaboration with the Municipality of Metamorphosis, the Union of Nephropathy patients, the Union of already Transplanted Patients, the National Council of  Transplantations and the Coordination and Monitoring Transplantations Service - Several eminent scientists took part at the Festival  (Mr Laggouranis,  Mrs Adami-Varka, Mr Sarris and the Archbishop Ignatios Georgakopoulos participated at a discussion coordinated by the well-known journalist Mr George Papadakis), as well as several artists.  Mrs Vera Krouska recided poems as well as a letter written by Antonis Samarakis on that occassion, while Mr Kostas Rallis covered the event with his music.  During the Festival many activities took place;  board games’ competitions (chess - backgammon and ping-pong ) and painting contests for the children living at this area.  The Festival’s activities were completed with the winners’ awarding and a music performance by the <Zig-Zag> group.

Our Association has taken part in writing informative articles in the daily press and magazines and has published an informative leaflet on organ donation.  It is a 16pages publication with strip cartoons which was financed by the Association and NOVARTIS Pharmaceutical Company in editing and printing respectively.
