Metropolitan Ioannis of Zambia hosted a celebration on Tuesday, January 21st, for scholarship recipients under the Ministry of Education of Greece and the Orthodox Archdiocese of Zambia and Mozambique.
Youth from Zambia and Mozambique were given the rare opportunity to study in Greece, allowing them to broaden their horizons, utilize their skills, and provide better services to society. The event was attended by the Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Education in Zambia (represented by the Director of Human Resources), the Consul General of Greece in Lusaka, the President of the Hellenic Association, the Greek Teacher, professors from the University of Zambia, media representatives, and parents.
The children were encouraged to pursue their careers and work hard as pioneers of their mother country, Zambia. Metropolitan Ioannis also emphasized the importance of hard work and announced that this pilot program phase would lead to another phase to empower more children with similar opportunities.
Metropolitan Ioannis wished the scholarship recipients good luck in their new beginning.
