John Christodoulou’s & Yianis Christodoulou Foundation support youth talent competition
Press Release 08:26 - 08 November 2024
The dedication of Cypriot entrepreneur John Christodoulou to supporting youth and communities was once again evident at the recent youth talent competition held at the ‘Proodos’ Youth Center in Kaimakli. Through an event where young participants competed in singing, dancing, and playing the bouzouki and guitar, the youth of the area had the opportunity to showcase their artistic skills.
The winner in each category received generous prizes from the Yianis Christodoulou Foundation. With the prize money, the winners will select improvements they wish to see for the enhancement of the ‘Proodos’ Youth Center, aligning with the foundation’s spirit of social contribution and ‘giving back.’
The evening was made even more special by John Christodoulou’s spontaneous announcement of a fourth prize for the younger children who displayed impressive singing talent, further showcasing his encouragement for the younger generation. These children, who initially attended as spectators, sang enthusiastically, motivated by the supportive atmosphere. This prize, too, will be used for further improvements to the Youth Center.
John Christodoulou expressed his gratitude to well-known host Louis Patsalides, who kept the atmosphere lively and entertained the audience with laughter. The evening was further enriched by the impressive performance of traditional dancer Aristotelis Valaoritis, who captivated the crowd by balancing glasses on his head, along with a live musical program by the Tsachouridis Brothers from Thessaloniki. The evening’s entertainment was also enhanced by the Astrinidios Conservatory Adult Band and artists Stelios and Elena Pasiardis.
