For 13 years COSMOTE has been supporting children by delivering messages of love

This year COSMOTE offers the total amount of EUR 320,000 to charitable organisations for children, through its action “Institution of Love” which celebrates its thirteenth anniversary. This is part of the sum that was collected from the SMS and MMS messages exchanged by the company’s subscribers during the first hours of the new year 1, thereby “multiplying their love” for children and contributing towards making the world around us better.

In 2012 COSMOTE will support the following associations:

• Association of Parents of Children with Cancer “Floga”
• Friends of Social Pediatrics “Anoixti Agalia”
• Cerebral Palsy Greece
• Hellenic Society for Disabled Children (ELEPAP)
• Association of Social Responsibility for Children and Youngsters (SKEP)
• Federation of Members of Women’s Associations of the Prefecture of Heraclion
• Educational Treatment Centre of Patras, “Merimna”
• Orphanage for Girls “Melissa”, Thessaloniki

This year too, the employees of COSMOTE and GERMANOS participated in the final selection of the eight charitable organisations of the “Institution of Love” by voting for the Orphanage for Girls “Melissa” in Thessaloniki among five associations for children from across the country. The remaining associations 2 will also receive material support according to their needs.

The sum that would have been allocated to the purchase of business gifts for Christmas will be offered by COSMOTE to the Children’s Care Centre (Association of Parents and Guardians of Children with special needs) in Ptolemaida.

Similar initiatives have also been undertaken by the subsidiaries of COSMOTE, COSMOTE in Romania and AMC in Albania.
