A Non-profit Charity Association founded in 2016. The Association provides free artistic services to “charismatic individuals with special skills”, enabling these individuals to develop and display their talents, helping them escape from social alienation. The Association supports talents in arts such as music, theater, literature, dance, painting, sports and many more.

How our Association was created                                                                                                                  

The idea for the creation of the Association was born on the occasion of the young Nefeli. Nefeli, at the age of 9, sufferred a serious stroke, which left her with a severe brain damage and incapable of perorming even the simplest of the tasks.  Her communication capabiities were also affected and level of understanding was that of a child.  Though music and singing Nefeli managed to improve tremendously, regain some of her original abilities, develop self-confidence and self-esteem. She socialized through music, singing and art. Her love for music and her zeal to sing again, became the means to overcome the unequal struggle for survival and recognition.

Nefeli is a living example of what a person can achieve with will, determination and patience. Our Association, guided by Nefeli’s example, was created to support other charismatic individuals for whom art is the only means for expression.
