This social programme offers joy and support to thousands of children throughout Greece as every year, a portion of the revenue will be donated to support the goals of the “Vision of Hope” Association.

Collection of the National Historical Museum – Athens. The PLAYMOBIL papyrus included in the package features the first two verses of the revolutionary song “Thourios” by Rigas Feraios, which was first published in 1797 and distributed throughout the Greek population under Ottoman rule.
