A future rewritten

Agamemnon’s Story

Agamemnon Stefanatos and was born in 1953, just 10 days after a massive earthquake had hit his native island of Cephalonia in Greece. The earthquake killed more than 1,000 people, leaving hundreds injured with almost every building destroyed.

Agamemnon’s mother was homeless and struggled to take care of her new baby son in the makeshift tents which were no protection from the cold and rain which followed the earthquake.

She became weak, ill, and unable to produce the milk needed to feed her baby. Because of the timely arrival of milk and clothes that UNICEF had shipped as part of its’ relief effort, Agamemnon survived.

Today he continues to live in Greece, runs a small hotel business and has two daughters which he is immensely proud of, and he is so thankful for the help he and his mother received in the aftermath of the quake.
