That's a real blessing for the area — that new ambulance looks fully equipped and should make a big difference getting folks from Kymi and the surrounding villages to care faster. Huge thanks to Mrs. Stavroula Geramani for her donation, and to Metropolitan Seraphim and the clergy who came out for the blessing. Father Elias from Oropos must have been especially glad to be there.
