Athens International Airport and the Voluntary Organization for Children “The Smile of the Child” present an art exhibition under the title “Travelling the world with a kid’s luggage” The artwork was created by children from 31 countries at the Athens International Airport “Play Area” operated by “The Smile of the Child”, over nine months from June 2013 to February 2014. Our young and very creative airport guests are from: Greece, Ireland, the UK, France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Finland, Norway, Turkey, Israel, Egypt, Russia, Cyprus, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, India, Thailand, China, Australia, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, the USA, Canada, Peru, Algeria, Japan, Singapore, and New Zealand. On the occasion of the airport Play Area’s 12 years of operation, our little “ambassadors”, take us on an imaginary “journey” to their own countries and thoughts, just before flying away from Athens; The luggage, made of carefully chosen materials, combine messages and images; not only a beautiful memory of their stay at the airport, but also a promise that they will visit us again soon! “I wish all children of the world to be blessed!” Writes on her made luggage, Aahana from India While Paul from Switzerland draws a plane, a smiley pilot, and writes: “I want to be a pilot like my father” And 8-year old Tidarat from Thailand: “Thank you!! It was the best waiting time I had in an Airport”
