Happy New Year! Doctors of the World (MdM-Greece) and Archipelagos receive 25% of EuroCharity's 2007 CSR Directory revenues
(CSRwire) December 31, 2007 - EuroCharity is pleased to announce that 25% of its
on-line CSR Directory revenues for 2007 have been donated to the following
two Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in Greece:
- Medecins du Monde-Greece, also known as Doctors of the World (www.eurocharity.org/en/company.php?company_id=447&profile_type=3);
and
- Archipelagos, Institute of Marine and Environmental Research of the
Aegean Sea (www.eurocharity.org/en/company.php?company_id=417&profile_type=3).
Through these year-end donations, EuroCharity will help finance
MdM-Greece's "Open Polyclinic" programme in Athens and Thessaloniki
(www.mdmgreece.gr/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=817&Itemid=78)
as well as Archipelagos' "Kivotos" plant genetic resources bank
(formerly known as "Seed Bank of Aegean Flora") to fight the rapid
disappearance of Greece's local crop varieties, even in the most remote
islands, and encourage biodiversity(en.archipelago.gr/pages/Seed_Bank_of_Aegean_Flora.html).
Archipelagos closely co-operates with Greece's National Agricultural
Research Foundation (N.AG.RE.F.) (www.nagref.gr/index_uk.htm)
on this important nationwide programme.
Throughout 2008, EuroCharity will place these two worthy programmes in
the spotlight and encourage our readers as well as corporate and
individual members to get pro-actively involved by making (in-kind)
donations, volunteering for these projects in Greece or offering other
assistance of any kind and, therefore, making a world of difference!
Last year, EuroChartity donated 25% of its CSR Directory revenues to "The
Smile of the Child" association for children in Greece and Cyprus (www.eurocharity.org/en/company.php?company_id=7).
