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).
