The goal of the initiative was the practical support of the areas affected by the earthquake. The action involved two Primary Schools on the island of Samos, which had suffered significant damage after the 2020 earthquake. More specifically the Vatheos Primary School has been installed and temporarily operates in a container. The 1st Primary School Of Karlovasi, which is a historical building where the Porphyria school was housed.
The volunteer action was addressed to the earthquake-stricken residents of the island, specifically to the students of the two large Primary Schools that had suffered significant damage and their teachers who did not have the necessary means to teach.
September - December 2022
Just before Christmas, on Monday 19 December 2022, a SKAG representative visited two primary schools on the island, Vatheos Primary School and Neo Karlovasi 1st Primary School (known as Porphyriada), to offer smiles to the young students. In particular, SKAG donated state-of-the-art educational equipment, such as interactive whiteboards, computers and projectors, which will substantially improve the educational process on a daily level, but also stationery and filing products to cover significant shortages of school units. It is worth noting that both schools on the island of Samos suffered significant damage after the 2020 earthquake, with the Vatheos Primary School having been temporarily installed in a container.
The result of this specific action was the practical support of the local community by providing assistance in the direction of improving the education conditions of the affected primary schools in the area. The company helped in the effort to make the education of a generation of students better and more productive as well as the reopening of the Primary Schools in Samos after the devastating earthquake of 2020.
