3rd Primary School of Voula

A good and a bad example of how the human rights are - or are not - respected in Greece.

Human rights in Greece are observed

by various organizations. The country

is a signatory to the European

Convention on Human Rights, the

Geneva Convention relating to the

Status of Refugees and the United

Nations Convention Against

Torture.

The United Nations High Commissioner for

Refugees (UNHCR), the local media and

Non-Governmental Associations have

reported an increasing number of racially

motivated attacks on immigrants by

extremist groups.

But these are not the real

Greeks.

As migrants themselves over

many generations, the Greeks

have a very deep-seated

appreciation of the qualities of

other peoples.

The “Ark of the world”

The “Ark of the World” takes care of

children that have been experiencing

abandonment, racism and social exclusion,

on daily basis.

It was founded in 1998 by Father Antonios

Papanikolaou with a vision to constitute a

point of care, support and hope for a

prosperous future of these children.

The 150 Greek children along with children

from Bulgaria, Albania, Ukraine, Russia,

Kazakhstan, Ghana, Afghanistan and Iraq,

experience the affection and peace of the

Ark that relieves them from poverty, hunger,

illnesses, misery, exploitation and illiteracy.

There are volunteers that unselfishly take

care of the basic needs of the children as

feeding, clothing, entertainment, nursing

and school integration.

Other volunteers take care of their

education with free tutorial courses and

professional training.
