Bio
Peter Stanton
Helena Stamou has been a friend and colleague for nearly a decade. In that time, she has proven to be smart, analytical and highly strategic in her work on behalf of clients. Her collaboration in the founding of PR World Alliance and her service on the Board of the network demonstrates her skill in navigating the sometimes tricky waters of international diplomacy and communication. At any moment, it would be Helena's wisdom, insight and personal charm that helped to overcome an obstacle, identify a creative solution to a problem, and win favor in the face of otherwise contrary points of view. For her experience, intelligence, and global perspective, I recommend Helena without hesitation to anyone seeking the kind of professional communication brilliance that can achieve great results even in the face of great difficulties. I am most fortunate to know Helena and call her my friend.

Helena Stamou, head of Nostus Communications, has been my Greece-based partner for nearly a decade. She has a keen sense of the multi-national public relations and marketing industry and has been a critical PR partner of our boutique firm in the region. Her advice and counsel on issues facing U.S. clients seeking to do business in the Greek market has been accurate, sage and timely. Her copywriting and media relations skills are exceptionally strong. I whole heartedly recommend Helena and Nostus for any engagement an organization may be seeking in the region.

We are a grassroot movement of volunteers sharing similar values and passions, offering our time and skills, to fellow human beings all over the world. We are all well-travelled and have long realized that despite of our differences we are all ONE. Our habitat is a dot in the outskirts of this universe, an alive and everchanging planet. Should we wish to evolve and prosper we need to help each other in any way we can. Towards that aim we have decided to form volunteering groups travelling to places in need worldwide to make a difference by designing and implementing educational, cultural and infrastructure programmes. Currently we have members in Europe, Africa and US and we are looking forward to welcoming volunteers from all continents.The uniqueness of our group lies on the fact that each trip is fine result of a collective effort by all our volunteers and the local communities, a real synthesis of ideas, skills and cultures perfectly intertwined while treating each other as equal, irrespective of nationality, gender beliefs or religion.Project Tanzania 23/2/2020-09/03/2020 - Empowerment of 400 children and 200 women in Kilimanjaro area - Completedwww.sharelovetravel.com
