Ένα σχολείο, μια ζωή, μια ανεξίτηλη παρακαταθήκη…
Η τελευταία ημέρα του σχολικού έτους 2025–2026 στο Ελληνικό Σχολείο «Όμηρος» Χειμάρρας δεν ήταν μια συνηθισμένη ημέρα. Ήταν μια ημέρα βαθιάς συγκίνησης, μνήμης και αγάπης, αφιερωμένη σε έναν άνθρωπο που υπήρξε η ψυχή και η κινητήρια δύναμη του σχολείου μας, τον αείμνηστο Νικόλλα Μπρίγκο.
Ένα συγκινητικό βίντεο, γεμάτο αναμνήσεις και συναισθήματα, έγινε ο τρόπος μας να εκφράσουμε την ευγνωμοσύνη και την αγάπη μας για τον ιδρυτή και διευθυντή του «Ομήρου», ο οποίος αφιέρωσε είκοσι χρόνια από τη ζωή του στη δημιουργία, την ανάπτυξη και την πορεία αυτού του σχολείου.
Η ξαφνική αναχώρησή του άφησε ένα δυσαναπλήρωτο κενό στις καρδιές όλων μας. Για την εκπαιδευτική μας κοινότητα, όμως, ο Νίκο Μπρίγκος δεν ήταν απλώς ένας διευθυντής. Ήταν ο άνθρωπος που πίστεψε σε ένα όραμα, που εργάστηκε με αφοσίωση για να το κάνει πραγματικότητα και που συνέδεσε τη ζωή του με την ιστορία του σχολείου μας.
Είκοσι χρόνια προσφοράς δεν χωρούν σε λίγες λέξεις ούτε σε ένα βίντεο. Χωρούν, όμως, στις αναμνήσεις των μαθητών, στην πορεία των εκπαιδευτικών, στις στιγμές που μοιραστήκαμε και στις αξίες που συνεχίζουν να μας καθοδηγούν.
Την ημέρα αυτή, οι εικόνες μίλησαν εκεί όπου τα λόγια δυσκολεύονταν να βρουν τη θέση τους. Κάθε στιγμιότυπο έγινε ένα μικρό «ευχαριστώ», μια υπόσχεση ότι το έργο του θα συνεχίσει να ζει μέσα από το σχολείο που δημιούργησε και αγάπησε.
Αγαπητέ μας κύριε Λάκη, η απουσία σας είναι αισθητή, αλλά η παρουσία σας παραμένει ζωντανή σε κάθε γωνιά του «Ομήρου». Στις αίθουσες όπου ακούγονται οι φωνές των παιδιών, στα όνειρα που γεννιούνται και σε κάθε νέο βήμα που κάνει το σχολείο μας.
Η τελευταία ημέρα της σχολικής χρονιάς έγινε έτσι ένας αποχαιρετισμός, αλλά και μια υπόσχεση συνέχειας. Γιατί οι άνθρωποι που αφιερώνουν τη ζωή τους στην παιδεία δεν φεύγουν πραγματικά. Παραμένουν μέσα στις γνώσεις που μεταδίδονται, στις ψυχές που αγγίζουν και στο μέλλον που βοηθούν να οικοδομηθεί.
Σας ευχαριστούμε για όλα όσα δημιουργήσατε, για όλα όσα προσφέρατε και για το όραμα που μας αφήσατε.
Η μνήμη σας θα παραμείνει για πάντα ζωντανή στο Σχολείο «Όμηρος» Χειμάρρας.
Αιωνία σας η μνήμη.
Një shkollë, një jetë, një trashëgimi e pashlyeshme…
Dita e fundit e vitit shkollor 2025–2026 në Shkollën Greke “Omiros” në Himarë nuk ishte një ditë e zakonshme. Ishte një ditë e mbushur me emocione të thella, kujtime dhe dashuri, kushtuar një njeriu që ishte shpirti dhe forca shtytëse e shkollës sonë, të ndjerit Nikollaq Brigo.
Një video prekëse, e mbushur me kujtime dhe ndjenja, u bë mënyra jonë për të shprehur mirënjohjen dhe dashurinë për themeluesin dhe drejtuesin e “Omiros”, i cili i kushtoi njëzet vite të jetës së tij krijimit, zhvillimit dhe rrugëtimit të kësaj shkolle.
Largimi i tij i papritur nga jeta la një boshllëk të pazëvendësueshëm në zemrat tona. Për komunitetin tonë arsimor, Nikollaq Brigo nuk ishte thjesht një drejtues. Ai ishte njeriu që besoi në një vizion, që punoi me përkushtim për ta kthyer atë në realitet dhe që lidhi jetën e tij me historinë e shkollës sonë.
Njëzet vite përkushtimi nuk mund të përmblidhen në pak fjalë apo në një video. Ato jetojnë në kujtimet e nxënësve, në rrugëtimin e mësuesve, në çastet që kemi ndarë së bashku dhe në vlerat që vazhdojnë të na udhëheqin.
Atë ditë, pamjet folën aty ku fjalët e kishin të vështirë të gjenin vendin e tyre. Çdo imazh u bë një «faleminderit» i vogël, një premtim se vepra e tij do të vazhdojë të jetojë përmes shkollës që ai krijoi dhe deshi aq shumë.
I dashur zoti Niko, mungesa juaj ndihet, por prania juaj mbetet e gjallë në çdo cep të “Omiros”. Në klasat ku dëgjohen zërat e fëmijëve, në ëndrrat që lindin dhe në çdo hap të ri që hedh shkolla jonë.
Kështu, dita e fundit e vitit shkollor u bë një lamtumirë, por edhe një premtim për vazhdimësi. Sepse njerëzit që i kushtojnë jetën arsimit nuk largohen kurrë plotësisht. Ata mbeten në dijen që përcillet, në shpirtrat që prekin dhe në të ardhmen që ndihmojnë të ndërtohet.
Ju falënderojmë për gjithçka që krijuat, për gjithçka që dhatë dhe për vizionin që na latë trashëgim.
Kujtimi juaj do të mbetet përherë i gjallë në Shkollën “Omiros” në Himarë.
U prehsh në paqe, i paharruar!
A School, a Life, an Enduring Legacy…
The last day of the 2025–2026 school year at “Omiros” Greek School in Himara was not an ordinary day. It was a day filled with deep emotion, remembrance and love, dedicated to a man who was the heart and driving force of our school, the late Nikollaq Brigo.
A moving video, filled with memories and emotion, became our way of expressing gratitude and love for the founder and director of “Omiros”, who devoted twenty years of his life to the creation, growth and development of our school.
His sudden passing left an irreplaceable void in our hearts. Yet, to our educational community, Nikollaq Brigo was more than a school director. He was the man who believed in a vision, worked with dedication to make it a reality, and connected his life with the story of our school.
Twenty years of dedication cannot be captured in a few words or a single video. They live on in the memories of students, in the journeys of teachers, in the moments we shared and in the values that continue to guide us.
On this day, images spoke where words struggled to find their place. Every moment became a quiet “thank you”, a promise that his work would continue to live on through the school he founded and loved.
Dear Mr Brigo, your absence is deeply felt, yet your presence remains alive in every corner of “Omiros”. In the classrooms where children's voices can be heard, in the dreams that begin to take shape, and in every new step our school takes.
The final day of the school year thus became both a farewell and a promise to carry on. For those who devote their lives to education never truly leave us. They remain in the knowledge passed on, in the lives they touch and in the future they help build.
Thank you for everything you created, everything you gave, and the vision you entrusted to us.
Your memory will forever remain alive at “Omiros” School in Himara.
May you rest in peace. You will never be forgotten.
