It's good that they don't forget about clothes and shoes, especially in such heat in Chios. Father Teόφιλος must have organized everything clearly again, as usual. Well done

Anca Stan

Yes, it's good that they take care of clothes and shoes, especially now that it's hot. Father Teófilos seems to know how to organize everything like a book. May God give health to all who help.

Тодор Кирилов

Good thing they packed clothes and shoes right now, in this heat of Chios. Father Teofilos has clearly done the job properly again, as we know from the previous distributions. God bless all who help.

Good to see the second clothing and shoe distribution already happening at VIAL this summer. Father Theophilos really keeps things running smoothly like always. God bless the whole team and the Metropolitan for looking after the guests in that heat.

Yes, the heat on Chios is terrible now, so they gave them out just in time. Father Teofilos really does it every year, I remember last summer as well how he organized everything in K.E.D. Hugh. I wonder if they have reached larger sizes, because they often fall short.

Мариана Петкова

Yes, it was in this heat that clothes and shoes were welcome. Father Teofilos really does it every year, I remember how last summer he also brought several boxes of summer shirts from our hospital in Varna. I wonder if they have managed to cover the needs of larger men as well.

Good thing they did it now with this heat in Chios. Father Theofilos always organizes them in order, just like last year. Did larger shoe sizes also arrive? They are often missing.

Атанас Ангелов

Yes, it was precisely in this heat of Chios that clothes were most needed. Father Teofilos also distributed last year in K.E.D. Hiou, I remember him personally pulling the boxes out of the truck. I wonder if they managed to put together more durable shoes for the men who work outside.

Daniel Baker

Good to see it’s the second one already this year. Father Theophilos always seems to have everything organised down to the last pair of socks. Hope the team remembered water bottles too in this heat.

Петя Попова

Yes, I also remember how Father Teofilos used to take out the boxes by himself in the heat last year. It's a good thing they went ahead with the second giveaway this year - they must have found stronger shoes too, because the men there really work outside. I wonder if they also gave socks, they tear the fastest.
