This week felt full of life and colors. We began in the garden, turning the soil and preparing the space for the children who would soon fill it with their laughter and plants. Then, brushes met the walls, and we painted with energy and joy, leaving traces of creativity behind. We wandered through parks, drawing inspiration from nature’s calm and beauty.

As the days went by, we shared ideas for our performance, dreaming together about what we could create. At the end of the week, the children joined us, and we planted side by side — it was a moment of pure connection. To close this wonderful week, we went to a restaurant with Eleni and tasted amazing trigonas, the perfect sweet ending to our beautiful days.
