ATHENS –
In a powerful demonstration of grassroots activism, a young European will embark on a transformative 1,200 km journey across Greece on foot, aiming to uplift local communities through charity work and storytelling. The initiative, known as the “March Across Greece,” will showcase the resilience and spirit of the Greek people while shining a light on the challenges they face, often overlooked by governmental support. Whilst also being a Guinness World Record attempt for the fastest crossing of mainland Greece from north to south on foot over the 30 days, daily stories will be documented and published on YouTube and Instagram.
Motivated by a desire to connect with and support local Greeks, George Moulos, a 26-year-old entrepreneur from Greece, will begin this ambitious trek on 7 November to 3 December 2024. The project will not only aim to raise funds for local orphanages and charities but also seek to amplify the voices and stories of those who call Greece home. “I realized that while many are eager to help, there’s a disconnect between the government and the communities in need,” said George. “I want to take matters into my own hands and show that change can start with one young person’s commitment.”
As George journeys through various towns and villages, he will document the lives, struggles, and triumphs of everyday Greeks. Through interviews and personal stories, the March Across Greece will aim to humanize the experiences of individuals facing economic hardships, social challenges, and the ongoing impacts of the pandemic.
The campaign is expected to garner significant attention, attracting volunteers and supporters eager to contribute to the cause. The funds raised will directly support Greek charities focused on the youth of Greece with George’s business Ecommerce-Brokers.com covering all expenses of the journey and 100% of funds raised going to Greek orphanages in partnership with the Greek America Foundation.
“Every step I take will be a reminder that even small actions on a daily basis can lead to significant changes in the long term for our country, and our continent” George added. “I hope to inspire others, especially young Europeans, to engage with their communities and take initiative when they see a need.”
The March Across Greece will not just be a fundraising effort; it will serve as a call to action for young people across Europe to take charge and make a difference, emphasizing the importance of storytelling, local engagement in addressing social issues.
