Furthermore the Foundation supports religious and charitable activities outside of the monastic community and peninsula of Mount Athos, which are connected with it by religious conviction, dependence, tradition and support the tolerance between religions and cultural traditions.
We furthermore continue to support a number of projects currently endorsing
