Christmas Cards for 2020 by Desmos
Every year the bond gives purpose to Christmas wishes!
This year, the artists Stefanos Rokos and Miltos Golemas give their works to Desmos and become part of Desmos ‘ daily stories of contribution, supporting our actions and work in a unique way.
We propose two alternative artworks that illuminate two particularly vulnerable groups in the difficult conditions of the pandemic.
- The detail of the work “Terror and Romance on another planet” by artist Stefanos Rokos dedicates our wishes to the “grandmothers and grandfathers of all of us”, especially those who live and are protected in more than 100 elderly care units, nursing homes, clinics and Social Services for the elderly, supported by Desmos.
- The detail of the work “playground” by artist Miltos Golema reminds us that the laughter and hope of carefree play in the playgrounds of our neighborhoods remains warm in our hearts, despite the adverse conditions. We support 1,000 child protection institutions, schools, child protection structures in refugee centers, and social services for the child throughout Greece, because the care of our children is a primary goal of our work.
By choosing to send Desmos greeting cards this Christmas, you strengthen the organization’s charitable activities and promote the Supreme social value of offering and support for those in need.
Greeting cards are available in Greek and English, and are tailored to your needs. As every year, by making a donation of €400 or more to strengthen the bond, each card is shaped with the logo and the name of your company, but also with any other modification you wish, in order to receive the file ready for electronic shipment as well as the final models for printing – if you wish.
We warmly thank the artists Stefanos Rocco and Miltos Golema for their practical and valuable support, as well as Alexandra Argyris for the free photography of Miltos Golema’s work.
