Young Volunteers Promote Blood and Bone Marrow Donation on Leros

The Leros Volunteer Blood Donors Association, I Zoi, thanked and congratulated the members of the island's Local Committee of Young Volunteer Blood Donors for their meaningful contribution to an awareness campaign.

Over two days of events, the young volunteers took an active role at the first volleyball tournament, at AEL's match against Aris Archangelou and at a meeting with the Leros Walking Group.

A bone marrow sample was also collected at the meeting. The volunteers informed members of the public about the importance of voluntary blood donation and joining the bone marrow donor register.

With enthusiasm, responsibility and care for others, they carried the message of volunteering and the value of human life, making a practical contribution to awareness across the local community.

The association said their attitude set an example and expressed the hope that even more young people would follow their path.

It thanked everyone who supported the initiative, with particular thanks to AEL president Michalis Tsatsos and the club's players, volleyball tournament organisers and especially Christos Giannakos, as well as the Leros Walking Group and Theofilos Ginnis for their cooperation.

The association said it would continue to support every initiative devoted to service, volunteering and social solidarity, together with sporting activity that promotes cooperation, participation and life.

The statement was signed for the board by president Savvas Konstantinidis and general secretary Valentina Akoglani.
