It was announced today, Tuesday, the new board of directors of “Ark of the World“, following the appalling allegations of child abuse and neglect and the government’s “uprooting” of the previous council.
The change of management is temporary and lasts for one year. The new Board of Directors is called upon to ensure the orderly operation of the institution and also to carry out an administrative and financial audit.
The president of the new Board of Directors is Alexandra Martinoueconomist and president of the Union “Together for the Child”.
Alexandra Martinou belongs to one of the strongest shipbuilding families in the country. Wife of shipowner Andreas Martinos, has stood out over the years for its social contribution.
The “Together for the Child” Association, of which Ms. Martinou is a founding member, began operating in Greece in 1996. It is an association of non-profit associations and foundations that work for the well-being of more than 30,000 children every year. The main aim of the association is to offer help to children and young people facing poverty, disability, abuse and illness.
Alexandra Martinou is the president of the Association “Together for the Child” since 2018, and with important initiatives it has undertaken, it has contributed to addressing poverty, disability, abuse and illness of minor children.
“Philanthropy means knowing the society deeply. I’ll tell you a small example to make you understand that the average person may have no idea about the poverty around us. We got a sponsorship from a company for personal hygiene products. It sounds strange, but there are girls today in Greece who don’t have money to buy this product and on difficult days they don’t go to school. When you work in our field you see, hear and learn things that, although self-evident in our consciousness, stumble into harsh reality.” she has stated herself in an interview with “Kathimerini”.
