In 2013, Mrs Argyro Bletsa-Arnautis, judge in Piraeus courts, was appointed Chairman of the Board, and during her term the Home for Children and Adolescents of Piraeus entered a new era. In particular, the provision of material, social and psychological support to the children and adolescents reached a stable basis, while clothing and footwear were also provided; the accommodation premises were regularly inspected and cooperation with public hospitals was ensured for the provision of appropriate medical care to children. At the same time, care was taken to boost the children’s education by providing additional teaching hours, attending educational seminars and other activities. Collaboration began with many volunteer teachers who supported the children with learning, while school performance of the minors was regularly monitored. Training seminars were also held for the home’s staff and since 2015, scientific conferences on various topics have been organized on an annual basis. Among the most important projects of that period were activities related to the entertainment of the children outside the premises of the home, such as one-day or multi-day excursions, attending theatre plays and visiting cultural places.
At the same time, the great project of refurbishing the home’s facilities begins aiming at optimal living conditions for minor guests and the best possible interior layout, in order to change the past institutional form.
