Nana Mouskouri, the Greek diva who represented Luxembourg in the 1963 Eurovision Song Contest and one of the most successful female singers worldwide, has offered 50.000 euros for the needs of the victims of the tragic fires that left Greece in mourning recently.

Nana Mouskouri, UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadress, has offered 50.000 euros through the Nana Mouskouri – Focus on Hope Foundation. Furthermore, she will be offering all the proceeds from her concert in Geneva on 20th November as well as her fees for her concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London on 29th November.

Thanks to Johnny Logan and Hold me now I fell in love with the Eurovision Song Contest, a love that's been going strong ever since with undiminished passion. My first memories date back to 1977 and the lyrics of Rock bottom, Dschinghis Khan and A ba ni bi are still engraved in my brain.

I joined esctoday.com in 2006 as a junior editor after being invited by Barry Viniker, I soon became Senior Editor and during the 2007 contest in Helsinki I was appointed Head of Communications. Today I hold the post of Head of Human Resources and I am proud to be working with the best editorial team in the world.
