Paphos, Cyprus. A blood donation initiative jointly organised by the Paphos self-government organisation (EOA), the Paphos regional office and the charity Anazo collected 61 units. In total, 70 donors came forward, helping to meet patients’ transfusion needs.


Tribute to young people

Paphos deputy district officer Froso Georgiou said the initiative honoured five young people whose lives ended prematurely: Charalambos Leantzis, Andreas Thaddeus Miltiadou, Panagiotis Sink, Neophytos Tsangaras and Michalis Alexandrou.

Georgiou said the tribute turned remembrance into tangible service for the public, while underlining the value of donating blood voluntarily and showing solidarity within society.

Organisers thank contributors

The organisers thanked every volunteer donor, their collaborators and everyone else who helped make the initiative successful. They said it demonstrated the importance of public services working with social organisations to deliver initiatives with a substantial social impact.
