Bank of Cyprus uses mascot to uplift healthcare professionals

The Bank of Cyprus is using its mascot, a white bear called Chara, to collect wishes, drawings and art, aiming to uplift the spirit of healthcare workers during this difficult time.

Wishes and various forms of homemade art can be sent to [email protected].

All images received will be posted on the Bank of Cyprus and Reaction’s Facebook pages.

Some will also be printed out and placed in hospitals and other spaces where healthcare professionals work.

This initiative is part of the #SupportCy framework, created by the Bank of Cyprus and non-profit organisation Reaction.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
