“We honour the retired farmer Athina Papachristou, who, a year ago, donated a state-of-the-art ambulance to the EKAV Messolonghi sector. Having experienced the challenges of patient transportation herself and understanding how crucial such a vehicle is for saving lives in her community, she used her lifelong savings to acquire it and offered it with true greatness of spirit,” Sakellaropoulou noted.

“Such acts of generosity by everyday individuals, with limited financial resources but profound empathy, kindness, and selflessness, are tangible proof that when we see ourselves in others, our world becomes a better place.”
