On this episode of “Voices and Music”. we welcomed veterinarian and missionary Father Panagiotis Papaioannou to the studio for a deeply moving and heartfelt conversation.
We explored his childhood and his innate love of animals, which led him to study veterinary medicine and devote himself to caring for nature’s vulnerable creatures.
Father Panagiotis spoke about his calling to the priesthood, his decision to dedicate his life to serving others, and his move to Madagascar. He described the harsh living conditions and the daily struggle against childhood malnutrition, outlining extensive humanitarian work that includes meal programs, schools, clinics, and facilities supporting local communities.
He also emphasized the importance of protecting Africa’s environment and wildlife and the vital support offered through solidarity from Greece. He shared a powerful spiritual message of love, selflessness, and hope with Greeks around the world.
