“The millions of Greeks living abroad are struggling with the problems of their compatriots in Greece. Through our experience by the self-organization and volunteering work, we call all Greeks of every corner in the world to meet and suggest some ways in order Greeks living abroad to be connected with their compatriots and offer them their aid,” the council said.
Cretans living in Australia and New Zealand will travel in Perth, Western Australia, the city that is going to host the conference of the Cretan Federation of Australia and New Zealand, from Jan. 3-8, 2013. The conference coincides with the conference of the New National Cretan Youth Council.
