Stella Tzaninis' Dedication to Bellarine
For over twenty-five years, Stella Tzaninis, a Greek-Australian woman from the diaspora, has been at the center of community life on the Bellarine Peninsula. She has supported her community through numerous initiatives, founding the Greek Elderly Club and building a solid network of care via the Hellenic Red Cross. Her long-standing commitment was recently recognized with a Certificate of Appreciation and Recognition.
Her Journey as a Migrant
Arriving in Australia in 1966 as a five-year-old, Stella quickly became an essential bridge for her family and others.
"I remember being six or seven, going with my parents, my uncles, their friends… and interpreting for them," she recalls.
Even today, at 64, she continues her role as an interpreter, exemplifying a life where being between two cultures grew from necessity into strength.
A Life of Service
Stella's bilingual abilities shaped her childhood and allowed her family to access healthcare, social services, and other opportunities.
"I realised very young that I could help," she says. "But I didn’t see it as strength. I saw it as helping my parents, mostly my father."
What others might have seen as a heavy responsibility, she simply viewed as a way of caring for her loved ones.
The Power of Giving
- Stella's efforts have included supporting the elderly and the vulnerable during crises such as the pandemic.
- Her work represents the resilience and generosity shown by Greek women who offer their support without expecting anything in return.
"That has stayed with me until today, at 64. I still do the same thing."
Conclusion
Stella Tzaninis stands as a testament to the enduring spirit and solidarity of Greek Australians, dedicating her life to quietly helping others and strengthening her community with compassion and persistence.
Author’s summary: Stella Tzaninis has dedicated her life to quietly empowering and uniting the Bellarine Greek community, earning well-deserved recognition through decades of selfless leadership and care.
