If you are planning to do your Easter shopping in Athens this week, then stop by the Hatzikyriakio Childcare Institution's Easter Bazaar that set up shop at the Syntagma metro. Items on sale include candles, faux jewelry, clothes, clothes, books, sweets and lots and lots of goodies. The items have great prices and with every sale you would be contributing to a wonderful cause. The Hatzikyriakio Childcare Institution is one of the oldest childcare centers in Greece. It was founded in 1889 by Ioannis Hatzikyriakos and his wife Marigo with the mission to take care of the orphaned and homeless girls in Greece. It hosts girls from the age of 6, coming from families with serious social and financial problems and offers, in addition to accommodation, care and emotional support as well as great educational opportunities in order to learn how to live as adults in a modern society.
