The life-saving work of the Children’s Oncology Unit Marianna V. Vardinoyannis-ELPIDA within the Agia Sofia Children’s Hospital in Athens will benefit from a $50,000 grant from The Hellenic Initiative (THI). The grant, which was given to ORAMA ELPIDAS, will be used by that non-profit organization to support the establishment of a new Medical Data & Clinical Trial Office within the hospital.

Nia Vardalos and John Stamos, actors of Greek descent, and The Hellenic Initiative (THI) are launching an online campaign to help rebuild the Greek Orthodox Lyreion orphanage destroyed by wildfires in Greece last July.

Yesterday in Athens, The Hellenic Initiative announced a new grant to SOS Children's Villages-Greece.
