We are students of the 1st Secondary School Stefan Żeromski in Ozorków. As participants of the Erasmus+ program, our task was to conduct a social survey on volunteering with the inhabitants of Katerini in Greece. Our respondents were asked to answer a few simple questions about charity activities in their country. Their responses were very surprising. Below are the responses of those surveyed.
