Hermes Airports hosts ‘Giraffes for Hope’ exhibition at Larnaka Airport

Hermes Airports is supporting the latest initiative of Sophia For Children, by hosting the ‘Giraffes for Hope’ exhibition. 20 giraffes embarked on a symbolic journey from Kenya, and each of them made a stop at a Cypriot artist’s studio, where they got ‘dressed up’ and will be exhibited during October 2020 in various locations at Larnaka Airport. Passengers will have the opportunity to see the 20 impressive giraffes, which were created by the artists, aiming to financially support the Sophia Foundation programmes.
