OFFICIAL CHARITIES
George Bizos SAHETI Scholarship and Bursary Fund ( GBSSBF ) In 2003 , the Board of SAHETI , on the initiative of Advocate George Bizos and his initial financial contribution , established a Scholarship and Bursary Fund to assist and attract learners of outstanding ability who are in financial need . In announcing the establishment of the Fund , Advocate Bizos emphasized that the spirit of Hellenism belongs to the world at large , and that SAHETI has a special responsibility to nurture it . “ Our doors should be open to at least some pupils of excellence who would otherwise be unable to afford a quality education .” There are many learners from various communities who yearn to learn at SAHETI and whose parents do not have the means .
