The Greek flag flies over the “Samaria” school

The Greek flag flies over the “Samaria” school

With the blessing of our Christ and the venerable blessing of His Divine Beatitude Patriarch Theodoros II of Alexandria and All Africa, another Greek Flag 🇬🇷 was raised on the flagpole of the new “Samaria” Educational Institution, in the parish of Saints Constantine and Helen in Ambovondramanesy.

Today is for all of us a day of special joy and emotion, because another great vision of ours has become reality. The new Educational Institution (Kindergarten, Primary School and College) opened its doors and welcomed 220 pupils, offering them knowledge, education, hope and the prospect of a better future.

These children are the future of Madagascar. Through education we want to give them the tools they need to go forward in life with dignity and to create a better tomorrow for themselves, their families and the whole of society.

The Greek Flag 🇬🇷, raised today on the flagpole of the new school complex, with the Precious Cross ✟ and its blue and white colours, will now be a living symbol of Orthodoxy, of Greek Culture and of our Homeland.

At the same time, it will bear witness to the presence and work of the Orthodox Church of the Patriarchate of Alexandria and All Africa, which, through mission, education, love and giving, stands close to the people of Madagascar and strives for a better future.

Greece and the Patriarchate of Alexandria and All Africa are here in Madagascar not to impose, but to serve, support, help and stand by the people of this land, offering education, love, hope and a better future.

This flag 🇬🇷 will fly as a symbol of love, peace, education and giving, carrying the message that through Orthodoxy, education and culture we can build a world with more hope, dignity and better living conditions.

By the grace of God we continue the missionary work of the Holy Diocese of Majunga and North Madagascar, with faith, love and vision, so that every child in Madagascar may have the right to knowledge, education and a better future.

The Greek Flag 🇬🇷 has been raised.
The Cross ✟ blesses.
Orthodoxy bears witness.
The Patriarchate of Alexandria serves.
And love continues to build the future.
