"PCT came and helped to make my dream come true. I would not be able to afford to participate in skiing events, because it is a very expensive sport," Sfaltos said.

The donation came about through the local NGO "Love Care for Life", which since 2018 has been helping people with mobility difficulties. Ourania Athanasopoulou, president of the NGO, had spoken to the company about Sfaltos' case.

"They gave him so much hope ... PCT made it possible for him to achieve his dreams ... The response was immediate," Athanasopoulou told Xinhua.

Last year, in recognition of its accomplishments in corporate social responsibility, PCT became a certified member of CSR HELLAS — the leading Greek NGO promoting responsible entrepreneurship and corporate sustainability.
