The Administrative Church Council of "Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary" parish of Katafygion village has the legal authority and the responsibility to care for and maintain the parish church edifice and all other aspects of the religious life and secular activities of the parish including the maintenance and preservation of the Church of Saint Nicholas. This Council legally and formally considered by the Greek State as a Philanthropic and charity entity. In 2022 the Ministry of Culture of the Hellenic Republic officially declared the church edifice of Saint Nicholas of the village of Katafygion a "protected monument of Greek heritage" affirming that the building is of great historical value, constituting a rare and unique monument of Byzantine art. Consequently, all restoration work performed on the building must abide by strictly predetermined procedures. All restoration works require that detailed technical studies be conducted, according to the standards of the Special Committee of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture, which has to grant its approval following the aforementioned evaluation. The cost of the aforementioned studies ranges between 5-10% of the total cost of the restoration work and is borne by the Church Council. The steps for the restoration of the Church of St. Nicholas: Hiring and paying the architectural and artistic restoration specialists who will compose the various restoration studies, i.e.: 1. Architectural study of the church edifice 2. Electro-mechanical study 3. Static and anti-seismic study 4. Maintenance and restoration study of the icons, wall frescoes, Byzantine wood carvings and the other various artistic artifacts of great value The main mission and ultimate purpose of the Church Council of St. Nicholas of Katafygion is to co-ordinate all the necessary procedures, so as to ensure that this project of maintenance and restoration is completed successfully. Faith and religion are not a consideration at all and those participating in our program are not required to belong to any specific faith or religion, nor will they be exposed to any religious messaging. The program's objective is secular and consists in the restoration and maintenance of an important piece of cultural and artistic heritage of the village of Katafygion.

The World Transplant Games Federation

Every day, lives are changed by a single, selfless act - the gift of organ donation. Among those waiting for transplants are 2 groups of people: those who die waiting and those who receive the gift of life. Our work raises awareness of the urgent need for organ and tissue donors while helping recipients who have overcome the impossible to live life to the fullest. These individuals have faced life's greatest challenges; they are advocates for the cause but need resources, education and community. Transplant recipients have a unique opportunity to advocate for organ donation and raise awareness. Physical activity plays a crucial role in the recovery and long-term health of recipients. When recipients compete in world events, they demonstrate to the world what can be achieved through the gift of organ donation. Additionally, our programs provide recipients with community, tools, and resources to address the many challenges they face, leading to an increased quality of life. The WTGF promotes amateur sport amongst recipients, living donors and donor families; promoting the study of transplantation; educating the public and raising awareness of the world shortage of donor organs; sharing new knowledge from biological/clinical studies; promotion of mental and moral improvement for recipients, living donors and donor families; fostering international friendship and relations.
