To inform patients, their caregivers and the public about the need to create a Guest House, we held several events outside the cancer hospital "Agios Savvas".  We also held a concert, during which 13 rock and pop music bands participated voluntarily and supported us.

However, our communication and cooperation with all involved public sectors, for four years, had been without result. 
This serious social problem was then raised in the Greek Parliament. 

Following this, a sponsor showed interest and undertook the utilization and renovation of a Refugee complex, with a capacity of 30 apartments, 55 sq.m. each. Actions were taken and the institution of a Guesthouse was included in the Regulatory Law of Athens.

Since then, this public property was transferred to the “Public Property Utilization Fund” and the problem remains pending.  Driven by the daily requests of cancer patients and their caregivers at the Social Service Department of the Cancer Hospital "Agios Savvas", we formed the Association "Pnoi Agapis”, in the summer of 2008.
