Eleni Boussis has made a second important and difficult bet: To restore Greece’s reputation and to give the positive tinge in order to show that Greeks are the Greeks of love, charity, hospitality, althouhg people tend to take a crooked road … Eleni has dedicated her whole being, soul and body have been given to these important purposes of her life, and I believe she will eventually manage to put her own golden stamp on humanity!
