Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, creator and owner of the easy family of brands, and his Stelios Philanthropic Foundation hosted a charity dinner for 60 guests last night at the Stelios Foundation Conference Hall in Monaco. The event was organised to raise awareness of The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Foundation (DEIAF), in the presence of HRH Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh, who now chairs the Foundation his father created.
The DEIAF is an international charity that supports young people aged 14 to 24 in over 120 countries, including Monaco, ‘to find their purpose, place and passion in the world’.
