He chose Diaspora over life in the village

Kyriakos Axountas was just a child when he lost his eye in a tragic accident. However, his physical injury couldn’t compare to the emotional blow he suffered when two of his brothers lost their lives in the war… Working first in the fields as a farmer and shepherd, and later in the city as a labourer, Kyriakos realised it was impossible to continue living from hand to mouth. So, he made the decision to migrate: it wasn’t in Greece that he finally found what he had always been searching for, but in the emerald Fifth Continent, Australia!
