Expressing our sadness on the passing of Marianna Vardinoyiannis, Goodwill Ambassador of UNESCO, Founder and President of the ‘Marianna V. Vardinoyannis Foundation’, the ‘ELPIDA Friends’ Association of Children with cancer’ and the “ORAMA ELPIDAS” Association. She built up an extensive record of humanitarian work for the benefit of children and disadvantaged social groups in Greece and abroad, leaving behind a profound philanthropic legacy. In recognition of her work, Marianna Vardinoyannis received an honorary degree from the University of Sheffield at the graduation of CITY College in 1997. CITY College will continue to support the mission of "ORAMA ELPIDAS" with various activities as it has done so far. Extending our deepest condolences to her family.
