Criminals serving their sentences in the central prison of Cyprus have collected more than 11 thousand dollars for the provision of medical assistance for low-income families of the country.
Many of the prisoners decided not to purchase products in order to help out their countrymen in need. These funds will be used in the hospital, working on a voluntary basis.
"Prisoners believe that access to health care is just as important as obtaining food. They need to feel that they can help low-income families who are trying to survive the financial problems of the country", - said Cyprus MEP Elena Teoksaros.
Formerly, ten billion loan to the island nation has been approved, but the situation in Cyprus remains to be extremely complex.
ATMs don't issue more than 300 euros a day per customer and those leaving the country are not allowed to take more than a thousand euros with them.
