The competition is open to everyone. A committee will select from the best photos with the most Likes, which will initially appear online and at an organized event, the proceeds of which will go to MDM Greece.
Greece has been experiencing a period of what the Canadian sociology professor David Chili described ten years ago in his book The New Poverty as:
“Terrifying free fall of an entire society, an entire country with no parachute and no safety net underneath.”
The situation today in Greece and especially Athens, presents all the elements of what constitutes the definition of a humanitarian crisis, and are usually the reason that MDM organise their missions abroad.
Homeless, unemployed or employed in conditions of modern slavery, malnourished children without access to health services.
When that happens we don’t remain indifferent…
We vow to battle this humanitarian crisis with everything we have.
We, as a penultimate force, are here for those who currently are last…
