Anastasia Kalou

Since she was young, Xenia dreamed of working in a humanitarian organization in a faraway country, a dream that finally came true in her own home when she thought of creating a website to link people in need of food with those who have surplus food so that nothing is wasted. Hence, in May 2011, BOROUME was born as a platform that saves food and ensures its donation to those who need it most. Xenia has studied Ancient Greek and Philosophy at Edinburgh University and Industrial Relations and Human Resource Management at the London School of Economics. She is a writer of poetry and in 2006, she completed the UK Open University’s Creative Writing Course. From 1999 until 2012, she worked as a senior editor for the website in.gr of the Lambrakis Press where she designed the first vortal for Agrotourism, and as a project manager at the Lambrakis Foundation where she designed the Foundation’s Education vortal e-paideia.net and as a senior editor of Discovery & Science Magazine of the Lambrakis Press. Also, she has taught Theory of Knowledge at the International Baccalaureate of the Moraitis School in Athens. Currently, she works for the Bodossaki Foundation.  

Marina Spyridonos

She studied History (BA) in the American College of Greece (Deree) and  then she took a postgraduate course in  Librarianship- Info Science at the London Metropolitan University (ex North London University), UK. She initially worked as a certified teacher for English, then as a librarian for a mining company followed by a series of assignments as a Personal Assistant in the areas of Environmental  Protection, Health and Safety (EHS) and last but not least the area of  Management Consultancy. Since her  late University years,  she was looking forward in getting involved as a volunteer doing a job with children and books. Her  involvement in volunteering  helped her to find out about Library4all, an  initiative,  whose goal is to provide primary education school libraries with books, nurturing, supporting and developing in this way the new generation of students. She feels very privileged, because Library4all gave her the opportunity to combine her affection for children with her love for books.
