Honor to the Greek Women of Diaspora 2010

A message of optimism on the future of Hellenism was expressed by the distinguished women of the Greek Diaspora, who were honored two weeks ago, at a formal event, organized for the third consecutive year by the Prefecture of Thessaloniki, in collaboration with the World Council of Hellenes Abroad.

Seven Greek women, from the equally numbered SAE Regions, with their modesty and dignity have rightfully gained the appreciation and admiration, not only of Greeks but also their fellow citizens in the countries where they live.

Among the honorees for 2010, who have been honored was Marina Moustakas, representing the region of the U.S.A.

Marina Moustakas, the Founding President of the Hellenic Heritage Institute, was not able to travel to Greece, for health reasons, but she sent a video, thanking the organizers for this special honor.

In her acceptance speech Marina emphasized the magnitude of  responsibility that all the Greeks of Diaspora carry on their shoulders, in Preserving and Perpetuating the Hellenic Heritage!
