On 27 July 2011, the Mayor of Rethymno, Mr Giorgis Marinakis, along with many people welcomed Mr Vardis J. Vardinoyannis and his wife, Mrs Marianna V. Vardinoyannis, who visited the historical city on the occasion of the presentation of theGreek publication of Mrs Vardinoyiannis’ book “Labouring with the Challenges of Female Identity: Insights into Minoan society”.
In the frame of the “Trident Senses-Sakis Rouvas” charity initiative, to support “ELPIDA” Association of Friends of Children with Cancer, the Kraft Foods Hellas Company asked the Focus Bari S.A. Marketing Research Services to realise a qualitative research, which brought to light important elements concerning the “ELPIDA” Association, Mrs Marianna V. Vardinoyannis as well as Sakis Rouvas. The results of the research were announced in an event that took place in the ‘ELPIDA’ Guest House on the 6th of July 2011, along with the presentation of the video clip of Sakis Rouvas’ song “There is Hope”. The song and the video clip were dedicated to the children of the ELPIDA Guest House by Sakis Rouvas.
