Cyprus is the 3rd largest island in the Mediterranean and it is situated at the Crossroads of three Continents, Europe, Asia and Africa. This geographic position has since antiquity played an important part in the island’s turbulent history. Its prehistoric age inhabitants were joined by the Mycenaeans
Greek 3500 years ago, who introduced and established their civilization, thus permanently instilling the island’s Greek roots. Many other cultures followed since then, including Phoenicians, Assyrians, Franks, Venetians, Ottomans and British, all leaving behind visible traces of their passage. The island is an open-air museum.

What a year it has been! I still remember vividly how the world turned upside down when the COVID-19 pandemic hit us almost two years ago. None of us was able to escape, all of us were affected by it one way or another. Year 2020 was a difficult year, year 2021 is not any better as we continue to witness all the negative impact caused by the unwelcomed pandemic. But, we are grateful that we are given more time to think, to reflect and to re-strategize to make the organization a better and more sustainable for the future.
