We have said goodbye to the old year and to all the terrible things that went with it. Goodbye to all those scars that tried to etch themselves indelibly on our bodies and in our souls.
We experienced injustice, we shed tears, we were frightened and injured, we ran, swam and walked for days and nights on end. But here we are today with renewed strength, praying that those difficult times will fade into the distance as we open our arms to embrace the joy and optimism that 2018 will bring.
Our team continues its weekly Saturday meetings and grows bigger by the day. We have visited Germany, Patra and Pyrgos in the Peloponnese and Crete. We have spread our wings even further and now have four reporters in Germany: Essen, Heidelberg, Wissbaden and Hamburg. In just a few months, both the printed and digital editions of our newspaper have found their way to five continents: America, Asia, Europe, Africa and Australia.
In this first issue of the New Year we write about new places we have visited, we describe the holiday season from a different point of view and consider what it really means to have hope. We discuss what adults think of us and we immerse ourselves in a country full of… miracles.
We wish everyone a Happy New Year – and happy reading!
