ActionAid Hellas children volunteers met with Deputy Foreign Minister Spyros Kouvelis on September 15 as part of the campaign 1GOAL - Education for all, which promotes childrens’ rights to education worldwide.
The organisation’s volunteers held a banner that read "schools have opened for us but not for 72 million children." Kouvelis met with ActionAid International Chief Executive Joanna Kerr and received a ball with the number 88,000 written on it - the number of signatures collected by ActionAid Hellas. The meeting took place a few days before the UN session in New York that will focus on the international organization’s Millennium Development Goals, among them the eradication of illiteracy.
