Good News From Greece Fills New Positive Website

Civics and World - General

Athens skyline, Photo by Rob and Lisa Meehan -CCWith all the disheartening news bombarding the Greek people over the past year, a new website has been launched to offer some relief.

Good News Greece purports to be the first news agency to highlight the positive side of what is happening in Greece.

"Our goal is to showcase every person, team, idea, technology or innovation that deserves to be an example for the Greece of the future," says lead editor Dimitris Polymenopoulos.

News stories this week include: 8 Greeks named in Time's 100 Most Influential People, the arrest of a smuggling gang intent on sending drugs to the 2012 Olympics, and teams of Greek scientists proposing solutions for cell obesity and the use of fiber optic lasers in cancer treatment.

The website's inspiring Bravo page features random acts of kindness and Grecian citizens who are "Paying it Forward".

Follow the good news from Greece on their English website: GoodNews.gr.

I've begun using your Good News stories as centerpieces to my Sunday sermons at church. A Christian message is one of "good news' and our congregants thrive hearing these news items from the real world. It takes our Christian message to a new height.
