The voluntary action "Miles for Smiles" by DHL Express took place with great success in order to support the Organization of "The Smile of the Child". The DHL Express volunteer bicycle team set a tough goal, which it has done to support the thousands of children in need.

Seven volunteer workers, members of the DHL Express bicycle team, traveled 489 km in 4 days, from 12 to 15 June 2018. Within 22 hours, 7 cities of Northern Greece crossed and trans- mitted the Organization's message.

With enthusiasm, energy and intense sense of social supply, the seven cyclists started the cycling route from the city of Xanthi and continued to Kavala, Drama, Rodolivos, Larissa, Katerini and Veria. Termination of the route took place in Thessaloniki. In the White Tower, the team of DHL Express and the "Smile of the Child" were welcomed by the team, which was awarded by Mr. Konstantinos Giannopoulos, Chairman of the Board of Directors. of the Organization "The Smile of the Child" and Mr. Eleftherios Samaras, Managing Director of DHL Express Greece, Cyprus and Malta. Mr. Giannopoulos presented an honorary plaque to the DHL Express team for the continuous support and offer to the Agency.

As stated by the Chief Executive Officer of DHL Express Greece, Cyprus and Malta, Mr. Eleftherios Samaras "We continue with enthusiasm and great joy our support for the Smile of the Child and his great work, this time with a special bicycle track," Miles for Smiles ». Driven by the values of DHL Express, efforts, teamwork and, above all, voluntary engagement are our tools to achieve yet another goal in meeting our social responsibility as a leader. We are next to the Smiley and this time ... we swept to prove it! "


For his part, Mr. Konstantinos Giannopoulos, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the "Smile of the Child" Organization, said "DHL Express has been a member of the Smiley family for several years now. For all of us, it is an example company to be imitated because it demonstrates in practice the feeling of social responsibility and supply. Since the first contact with the administration, strong bonds have been developed, while the entire DHL family embraced the "Smile". It responds to every call and supports the Organization's actions on a multifaceted and steady basis. Once again, they demonstrate their support through Voluntary Miles for Smiles. We would like to thank cyclists for this initiative and support, but also DHL's leadership for the human-centered philosophy that characterizes it. "

The successful ending of the action was translated into a donation amount to the Organization "The Smile of the Child" on behalf of the company. At the same time, in all the city's stations, the bicycle team spent a major campaign gathering food and essentials for children and their families facing problems of living and supported by the Agency. The items gathered at DHL Express stores will support the Organization's Children and Family Support Centers.
