Subject: Join Us in Supporting Youth Education Programs in Cyprus through THI Canada’s Fundraiser for CVAR
We are thrilled to share exciting news from The Hellenic Initiative Canada (THIC). We have expanded our mission to benefit not only Greece but also Cyprus, marking a meaningful new chapter in our support for Greek and Greek Cypriot communities. To celebrate this milestone, we are launching a $100,000 fundraising campaign to support educational programs at the Centre for Visual Arts and Research (CVAR) in Nicosia, Cyprus.
CVAR is a remarkable institution dedicated to preserving and promoting Cyprus’s rich cultural heritage. Each year, CVAR engages thousands of school-aged children through accredited programs that foster historical awareness and cultural pride. With no government funding, CVAR relies solely on donations to continue providing these invaluable programs. This year alone, over 4,000 children have benefited from CVAR’s educational offerings, which include school programs, workshops, seminars, and lectures.
To make this campaign a success, George Mavroudis, a proud Canadian of Greek Cypriot heritage, has pledged to match the first $50,000 in donations, doubling the impact of early contributions. Additionally, Tony Lourakis, THIC Board member and former President of the Hellenic Heritage Foundation, and Gus Constantinou, a Canadian Cypriot with extensive experience advocating for Cyprus at the United Nations, have each pledged $5,000 toward our goal. We are deeply grateful for their generosity, and now, we invite you to join us in supporting this impactful cause.
Your contribution to this campaign will help bring essential resources to thousands of children in Cyprus, enriching their education and deepening their connection to their heritage. All donations to THI Canada are eligible for tax receipts, and every dollar you give will be matched, amplifying the impact of your generosity.

Together, we can inspire a new generation in Cyprus to celebrate and preserve its heritage. Join us in this meaningful endeavor – Oli Mazi (all together)!
Thank you for your support and dedication.
