The Holy Great Monastery of Vatopedi on Mount Athos, responding once again with love and sensitivity to the needs of the Holy Metropolis of Kitros, Katerinis and Platamonos, offered a large amount of food to strengthen its diverse social and pastoral work. Of particular importance is this valuable offer for the action "Camp in the city", which takes place again this year during the summer months, hosting hundreds of children from the Catechetical Synagogues of the local Church. The food provided will essentially contribute to meeting the needs of the camp, so that the children can experience days of creative employment, spiritual cultivation, entertainment and Christian fellowship.

At the same time, part of the offer will strengthen the program of hosting orphaned children and young people from Orthodox countries in the complex of Ecclesiastical Institutions of the Holy Metropolis of Kitros in Svoronos, the Camps of GEHA Katerinis in Vronto and GEHA Larissa in Paralia Skotina, confirming the long-term support of the Holy Great Monastery of Vatopedi to the social work of the local Church.

Vatopedi did well and this year, the food will be of great help to the children of the "Camp in the city". I remember last year when we went fishing with father Dimitrios in Vrontos, the children from GEHA were excited to have good food. May the monks be well.

Yes, you said it right, Antonis, the food from Vatopaidi always arrives and there are surpluses. Last year my daughter helped a little at the "Camp in the city" and she was telling me how happy the children were with the good food. Did you also go fishing with father Dimitrios? How did it go?
