ANASTASIOS LIVIERATOS TRUST FUND
This benevolent institution was established by the Will and Codicil
of Anastasios G. Livieratos (14/2/1911) and operates by its Charter
of Management and Administration which was approved by Presidential
Decree 128/1981.
Its stated purposes are: preservation and improvement of the real
estate property in the village of Agia Thekla that houses the local
High School; equipment for the aforementioned; hiring of teaching
and service staff to cover the needs that arise; and, financial
support of elementary, junior high school and high school students
that meet certain criteria - at the discretion of the administrative
committee.
A significant asset of the institution is the revenue derived from
renting out offices and shops of a large building located on Stadiou
3 & G. Stavrou Street in Athens. Specifically, rent is collected
from two shops on the ground floor and 27 offices in the building.
The Trust Fund is administered by a five-member committee composed
of The Metropolitan of Cephalonia who is the President, The Prefect
of Cephalonia, The District Attorney, The Agia Thekla School Principal
and a member of the benefactor's family.
Scholarships are granted every year to elementary, junior high
school and high school students as well as to students of colleges
and universities. The scholarship recipients are chosen by the administrative
committee using criteria outlined in the founding charter of the
Trust Fund.
Significant amounts have been spent on construction work, the courtyard,
plumbing and heating facilities, and the salaries of a music teacher
and a supervisor. In addition, breakfast is provided for the students
on a daily basis.
The Metropolitan visits the school on a regular basis and converses
with students and parents. All means of communication are used in
order to strengthen the religious conscience of the students.
One of the most significant events takes place towards the end
of May when a Divine Liturgy is conducted by the Metropolitan for
the benefit of all those benefited by the Trust Fund. The event
includes a memorial service at the grave of Anastasios Livieratos
followed by a banquet at the School building.
The events are attended by all the students as well as locals whom
the Metropolitan preaches the virtues which we all must strive for
and the gratefulness that we must feel towards God and our Benefactors.
