Volunteers make masks for the General Hospital of Zakynthos!

Volunteers helping our front line workers wherever they can, this time the women’s choir of “ΡΟΔΑΜΠΕΛΟΣ.”

A call for help.

The president of the choir,  Andriana Lykouresi was quick to answer a call for help. The choir, which is also part of the cultural association with speed haste gathered the proper materials needed in order to make the reusable face masks.  Women within the group used their sewing machines to make a total of 100 masks.

A thank you note to frontline workers and more..

The president of the cultural association Rodambelos stated:-

“From our today’s visit to the Hospital of Zakynthos “Agios Dionysios.” A 100 pieces of handmade multi-purpose masks were delivered. These were made by members of our Association with materials offered by Mr. Kontaratos Iakovos and members of the Association. Together with the cost of 50 face- shields offered by the Rodampelos Association, thus strengthening the valuable work and initiative of the Volunteer Group of Zakynthos.

I  humbly thank, on behalf of our association, all of you. Those in Management of our Hospital and in the field of Health for your efforts in making us feel safe on our island.  Furthermore, the Health Staff of the Hospital who are on the front line of this daily fight. Especially during the period of which we have been under threat from Covid-19.

I hope that all will respect the work you do and support it, by working more consciously during this pandemic.

We wish the Health Personnel and the Administration of the Hospital of Zakynthos Strength …

A warm “thank- you” to the Members of our Association who with special love and willingness helped to create the masks.”

Volunteering in Zakynthos is about caring for each other and working together for Zakynthos. During these difficult times it seems that the willingness to help and work together for a better Zakynthos is the weapon to fight the invisible enemy that has reached our shores.
