Athenians’ Society of New York To Give Back To Charities in Greece

     “Overseas Greeks must stand by those who are in great need,” stressed the Society’s president Panos Adamopoulos.

Members of the historic Athenians’ Society of New York are carrying out a new mission to Greece that is going to provide help and much needed aid for organisations suffering from the economic crisis.

      “It will be our sixth trip to support agencies and persons in our country facing serious survival problems”, the Society’s president Panos Adamopoulos told the ANA-MPA, stressing that “till today, our Society has provided about forty thousand dollars.”
     “A large segment of Greek society is experiencing tough daily conditions, while many agencies cannot continue their work any more. We hope that our effort, and those of other societies and organisations, will find more imitators in the Greek American community,” Adamopoulos noted, stressing that “it is now time to support Greece and its world. Overseas Greeks must stand by those who are in great need.”

He noted that the Society would be making two gifts, one of a large-capacity boiler to the Athens Public Orphanage and a 20,000 U.S. dollar cheque to the organisation “Mazi gia to Paidi” (Together with the Child).

Both gifts, according to him, that were collected through gifts to a campaign and a piano recital by Athena Adamopoulos at the Greek Consulate of New York, are expected to be presented to each of the two charities on the same day, June 4, he said
