Ioannis Theophanopoulos, Greek Ambassador to China, and his wife, Leopoldine. |
In 1999, the Greek Ambassador to China, Ioannis Theophanopoulos, and his wife, Leopoldine, were introduced to the Special Olympics Program in China. As part of the effort to educate opinion leaders from China, the Ambassador and Leopoldine stepped up to the challenge.
Serving as patrons of the Special Olympics China Millennium March they provided invaluable advice, support and encouragement. They also hosted several gatherings at their residence and invited ambassadors from countries around the world, Chinese leaders, corporate leaders and the media. These opportunities were invaluable in educating key opinion leaders in China of the benefits of Special Olympics.
