Reception for the Representative of “Ambassadors of Greece“

 

 

With great pleasure, we hosted a reception for Mr. Niko Kolendriano, representative of the Australian-Greek organization “Ambassadors of Greece” (each Greek is an ambassador of Greece) on Saturday, 5 October 2013.  In a simple, but very touching event for MCCH, our volunteers and fellow citizens attending had the opportunity, to truly understand the love and solidarity shown to us by Greek expatriates in Australia.  Two Greek communities, in Melbourne and Victoria, together with nine Greek schools and individual citizens gathered a substantial amount, with which they bought medicines and other materials that we were of immediate need to our patients.

The reception demonstrated clearly how our expatriates feel for and support what is happening in this country.  Many of them are 3^rd and 4^th generation, but they understand what is happening here, and now.

Toward the end of the event, the close ties of friendship and solidarity between us were related to us through a video.  Mrs. Efy Gianna (co-founder of the organization) pledged the continued support of the organization to our work in the coming year.  Mrs. Gianna assured us that she will try in every way to communicate the message of support and solidarity to the Greek people from the entire Australian community.
