During the devastating fires on the island of Rhodes in July 2023, the 4th GEL Rhodes opened its arms to host tourists from the hotels of the evacuated areas. Teachers, parents, students and alumni of the school joined forces to ease the suffering of the fire victims and ensure them the best possible accommodation and feeding conditions until they return to their countries or continue their vacation.
All the people of the school demonstrated their commitment to volunteerism and solidarity in the most direct and moving way. Within a few hours everybody realized how easy it is to find yourself in need of help and how important volunteer support is.
As a tourist who was hosted at the school said “not all heros wear capes”!
