Our first thought was&nbsp;to askfor help from&nbsp;the&nbsp;Hellenic Community of Ireland. This help was very important because,&nbsp;in the beginning,&nbsp;we didn\u2019t know where to go, our English language level didn\u2019t allow us to get in touch with Irish citizens and&nbsp;the&nbsp;Irish government system as well&nbsp;as, to find a solution. We were thinking of leaving the&nbsp;country, but in the end,&nbsp;the Hellenic Community of Ireland helped us to stay.<\/p>\n<p>So, now we&nbsp;can&nbsp;feel safer to stay and get over difficulties, learn the Irish system better and we belong to a bigger family. We felt we are more integrated into the Irish Society.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n<p>Konstantina<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Testimonial 3:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We moved to Dublin in September 2019 and we would really like to thank the Hellenic Community for making our stay easier and more pleasant.<\/p>\n<p>We were very lucky to meet the president of the community, Stella Xenopoulou, during our first month in Dublin. She is a very generous person and she made us feel really welcomed. She introduced us to other members of the Hellenic Community and gave us the opportunity to get involved in the activities of the business branch of the community, especially in organising the annual Greek Business and Arts Festival.<\/p>\n<p>The Hellenic community keeps the&nbsp;Greek&nbsp;spirit alive in Ireland, helps Greek people to network, Greek businesses to penetrate the Irish market and operates the Greek school where young Greek students learn the Greek language, culture and history. We attended various events organised by the community such as the Greek school Christmas celebration, the visit of the President of the Hellenic Republic, the Works of Nikos Kazantzakis event and the Greek Business and Arts Festival. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Hellenic community of Ireland has a really helpful site where all necessary information regarding one\u2019s stay in Ireland can be found (information about health insurance, finding a job, tax issues etc.). It is worth visiting the site even before moving to Ireland.<\/p>\n<p>Once again, we would really like to thank the Hellenic community and especially Stella for supporting us during a challenging period of our life.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Kind regards,<\/p>\n<p>Katerina and Giorgos<\/p>\n<p>To all concerned<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Testimonial 4:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Role of the Hellenic Community of Ireland<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Hellenic Community of Ireland&nbsp;plays a very vital role with all the Greeks who come to Ireland. Its importance for us when we came here was to have a feeling at home with people&nbsp;who&nbsp;originated from our own native country. We got to know each other and exchanged information.<\/p>\n<p>My own story started with meeting the President, the Secretary,&nbsp;and the Cashier, all very helpful and cooperative people. It was important at that stage to have a helping hand and an urge to take part in the Community\u2019s events. In particular, I started my business on the 23<sup>rd<\/sup>&nbsp;February 2020 during the Arts and Business Festival very well-organised by the whole team. It was a very interesting and rewarding day. I had the chance to&nbsp;take a step forward. The fact that I was surrounded by this group of volunteers, made me feel more confident to start my new undertaking.<\/p>\n<p>As a former School Principal and a teacher of English in Greece, I would also like to mention the role of the Greek School in the Greek Community. I have to acknowledge the importance of keeping the mother language alive within families. The Community has set up and is still keeping a school for Greek students to learn or improve their native language which is by itself very significant. My children did not need to attend as they were already old enough when they moved into the country. However, we have to acknowledge the school\u2019s definite role: Not only does it elongate our native country\u2019s tradition; it also brings balance and harmony within emigrated families.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pagona Panagiotidi<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Testimonial :1 \u03a4\u03bf \u0395\u03bb\u03bb\u03b7\u03bd\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc \u03c3\u03c7\u03bf\u03bb\u03b5\u03af\u03bf \u03c4\u03b7\u03c2 \u0399\u03c1\u03bb\u03b1\u03bd\u03b4\u03af\u03b1\u03c2 \u03b1\u03c0\u03bf\u03c4\u03b5\u03bb\u03b5\u03af \u03ad\u03bd\u03b1 \u03b6\u03b5\u03c3\u03c4\u03cc \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03c6\u03b9\u03bb\u03cc\u03be\u03b5\u03bd\u03bf \u03c7\u03ce\u03c1\u03bf \u03b9\u03b4\u03b1\u03bd\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc \u03b3\u03b9\u03b1 \u03bd\u03b1 \u03b1\u03bd\u03b8\u03af\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9 \u03b7 \u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03c3\u03c9\u03c0\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc\u03c4\u03b7\u03c4\u03b1 \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b7 \u03c4\u03b1\u03c5\u03c4\u03cc\u03c4\u03b7\u03c4\u03b1 \u03c4\u03c9\u03bd \u03c0\u03b1\u03b9\u03b4\u03b9\u03ce\u03bd \u03bc\u03b1\u03c2 \u03bc\u03ad\u03c3\u03b1 \u03b1\u03c0\u03cc \u03c4\u03b7\u03bd \u03b5\u03c0\u03b1\u03c6\u03ae \u03bc\u03b5 \u03c4\u03b7\u03bd \u0395\u03bb\u03bb\u03b7\u03bd\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae \u03b3\u03bb\u03ce\u03c3\u03c3\u03b1 \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03c4\u03bf\u03bd \u03c0\u03bf\u03bb\u03b9\u03c4\u03b9\u03c3\u03bc\u03cc. \u039c\u03b5 \u03c4\u03b7\u03bd \u03ba\u03b1\u03b8\u03bf\u03b4\u03ae\u03b3\u03b7\u03c3\u03b7 \u03ad\u03bc\u03c0\u03b5\u03b9\u03c1\u03c9\u03bd \u03b5\u03ba\u03c0\u03b1\u03b9\u03b4\u03b5\u03c5\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03ce\u03bd \u03c0\u03bf\u03c5 \u03c3\u03c5\u03bd\u03b4\u03c5\u03ac\u03b6\u03bf\u03c5\u03bd \u03c4\u03b7 \u03b3\u03bd\u03ce\u03c3\u03b7 \u03bc\u03b5 \u03c4\u03b7\u03bd \u03b4\u03b7\u03bc\u03b9\u03bf\u03c5\u03c1\u03b3\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc\u03c4\u03b7\u03c4\u03b1 \u03c4\u03b1 \u03c0\u03b1\u03b9\u03b4\u03b9\u03ac&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17916,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4590","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.2","language":"gr","enabled_languages":["en","gr"],"languages":{"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"gr":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hellenic.ie\/gr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4590","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hellenic.ie\/gr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hellenic.ie\/gr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hellenic.ie\/gr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17916"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hellenic.ie\/gr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4590"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.hellenic.ie\/gr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4590\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5151,"href":"https:\/\/www.hellenic.ie\/gr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4590\/revisions\/5151"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hellenic.ie\/gr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4590"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
