It is late October and the Hellenic-Zambian Chamber organizes a Corporate mission to Zambia. ANTAEA Group of Companies is one out of the 21 Companies who participate in this mission. On 20th October the first Hellenic – Zambian Business Forum is a fact.  The Zambian Development Agency (ZDA) was one of the participants as well.

ANTAEA CEO visited Zambia with the intention to understand the needs that the Sub-Saharan countries in Africa have in clinical studies and what type of diseases need elimination. HIV and malaria is only a sample out of the long list.

During the meetings and presentations local people showed not only the potentials held but the various problems of health and poverty faced every day. In a land with exotic beauty where the desert and the wild life stand in an extraordinary balance, there are still people who suffer and need support. ANTAEA and Eucalyptus offered food to orphan and homeless children in Lusaka.

The action began in the evening with a local driver who drove in different neighborhoods in Lusaka. One of the locals explained “The oldest of the group whistles to the homeless and poor children of the neighborhood to gather in order to receive food”. It’s an effective way of communication between the members of each group.

Dimitris Lucas, Chairman of the Board at Hellenic – Zambian Chamber explained that this attempt was to help as many people as possible with a small contribution which was of great significance to them.

The distribution continued in the middle of the night. The result was a lot of food distributed in 3 neighborhoods of Lusaka. Most of the homeless children had lost their parents due to HIV infection. ANTAEA hopes to help in the fight of HIV and the tropical diseases in the future years.

ANTAEA CRO donated a year medical supplies to the fire station at Kalymnos, a small island of Dodecanese complex of islands in Greece. The ANTAEA CEO, John Roussos personally delivered the supplies in Kalymnos. ANTAEA CEO, the Head of Touristic department of Kalymnos and the Deputy Mayor of the island began recently this collaboration, as due to austerity many State Agents in Greece are running out of supplies.

The CRO in Greece has committed to support Greek small islands, with periodic donations according to the seasonal needs. Kalymnos is one of the islands in Greece which ANTAEA will constantly support by covering the needs of the fire vehicles and of the Kalymnos fire department in general. Mr. Roussos explained that ANTAEA, as a CRO, is tightly related with the medical field by conducting research on new medication. Thus, more sensitive and attuned to the medical needs, the Kalymnos community may face. He underlined that frontier islands in Greece shouldn’t be forgotten but supported even with small donations by anyone who can. The Head of Touristic department of Kalymnos and the Deputy Mayor warmly thanked Mr. Roussos for the support provided to the local community.

ANTAEA CRO charity in more isolated areas has always been a main goal of ANTAEA Group these years. This type of actions is part of the CRO responsibility in society. ANTAEA Group will actively support the population in Greece and in any other country where it has presence or access.
