Translation
"I, like all the children, have left our homeland Greece, but everything has remained in our memory. Greece has the most beautiful sky and the most beautiful sun, and the bluest sea. It has its beautiful islands that are scattered here and there, and they look like brides in the Aegean."
Penelope Romfea, born in 1962
"I think something changed in my life as soon as I started studying the history of my country. Little by little I started to realize the meaning of the word homeland. Without homeland, people cannot live. So let's love and preserve it"
Haroula Sanni
"I love Greece because my mother and my father were born there. And I love it because my mother came from Greece and gave me the light of day"
Eleftheria Karabasis
"The goats in Greece make me want to stay there. Everyone in Greece is a nice person, no one argues there."
Dimitrios Ziogas

| Transcription | "Εγώ, όπως και όλα τα παιδιά, έχουμε φύγει από τη πατρίδα μας την Ελλάδα, αλλά μας έχουν μείνει όλα στη μνήμη. Η Ελλάδα έχει τον ωραιότερο ουρανό και τον ομορφότερο ήλιο, και την πιο γαλάζια θάλασσα. Έχει τα ωραία νησάκια της που είναι σκορπισμένα εδώ και εκεί, και μοιάζουνε σαν νυφούλες στο Αιγαίο."
Πηνελόπη Ρομφέα, γεννημένη το 1962
"Νομίζω ότι κάτι άλλαξε στη ζωή μου μόλις άρχισα να μελετάω την ιστορία της πατρίδας μου. Σιγά σιγά άρχισα να συνειδητοποιώ τη σημασία της λέξης πατρίδας. Χωρίς πατρίδα, οι άνθρωποι δεν μπορούν να ζήσουν. Ας την αγαπάμε και τη διαφυλάσσουμε λοιπόν"
Χαρούλα Σαννή
"Εγώ αγαπάω την Ελλάδα γιατί η μητέρα μου και ο πατέρας μου γεννήθηκαν εκεί. Και την αγαπάω γιατί η μητέρα μου ήρθε από την Ελλάδα και μου έδωσε το φως της ημέρας"
Ελευθερία Καραμπάσης
"Τα κατσικάκια στην Ελλάδα, με κάνουν να θέλω να μείνω εκεί. Όλοι στην Ελλάδα είναι καλοί άνθρωποι, κανείς δεν μαλώνει εκεί."
