Welcome to the website of the association Agios Andreas
to support social institutions on Rhodes.
Rhodes, the island with the most sunny days in Europe, attracts several million visitors annually to the World Heritage-listed Old Town (see above), once built by the Knights of St. John, where visitors flock in the summer. Many also enjoy a swim in one of the romantic bays or visit the "most beautiful town in Greece," Lindos, with its over 3,000-year-old Acropolis. And some prefer the quiet hiking paradise in the center and south of the island.
There are also COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PLACES that MOVED US STRONGLY.
We would like to tell you about these here:
This is especially the Agios Andreas children’s home for children with multiple disabilities

About Us
The association was founded by Mrs. Rose Pakakis from
Ludwigsburg and is dedicated to children with special care and support needs.
Public charitable institutions in Greece are particularly suffering from financial cuts. This has a devastating impact on children with increased needs, because the most important thing for these children is care.
The association aims to promote and ensure this need for support through:
• Voluntary services to support children with
special need for care and support
• Regular visiting service
• Further training/education of staff
• Financing of special therapeutic
Measures
