Volunteering at Cans For Kids has really made me understand
how significant a small helping hand can be. By volunteering at
this organisation you not only become part of a movement, you
become part of a family that makes you want to become
a better person.

Volunteering at Cans For Kids really did become a main part of my
life, not just something I did in my spare time. After having seen
the stark contrast between Cyprus and parts of the world like
Vienna, Zurich and Amsterdam it becomes clear how vital Cans
for Kids mission is for the island’s environment. “Thank you” Cans
for Kids – may there always be people to support the cause.

Monica Mylordou, aged 20

Volunteering for Cans For Kids is one of the most fulfilling things
I have ever done. Dedicating time for 2 causes simultaneously –
environmental and social – makes you do so without a second
thought. Truly the best charity I have every come across,
and a cause genuinely worth contributing towards.

Vasilis Mavratsas, aged 19
The great thing about volunteering for Cans For Kids is that
people of all ages and backgrounds come together and help their
community, and the only thing they require is the will to help
their community.

Volunteering for Cans For Kids makes me feel empowered
and like I’m making direct impact on the world around me.

Jane Savvides, ‘senior’ volunteer
It’s a very worthwhile way to spend a couple of hours on Saturday
morning and it’s three-fold, we are cleaning up the environment,
recycling and raising money for a very good cause. Plus it even
has personal benefits – it’s a lovely way to meet lots of different
people and a couple of hours of activity is a great workout in the
fresh air with none of the boredom of the gym. Believe me, sort-
ing is even addictive – perhaps because one feels a sense of
well-being and achievement.
