In the frame of the "Trident Senses-Sakis Rouvas" charity initiative, to support "ELPIDA" Association of Friends of Children with Cancer, the Kraft Foods Hellas Company asked the Focus Bari S.A. Marketing Research Services to realise a qualitative research, which brought to light important elements concerning the "ELPIDA" Association, Mrs Marianna V. Vardinoyannis as well as Sakis Rouvas. The results of the research were announced in an event that took place in the 'ELPIDA' Guest House on the 6th of July 2011, along with the presentation of the video clip of Sakis Rouvas' song "There is Hope". The song and the video clip were dedicated to the children of the "ELPIDA". Guest House by Sakis Rouvas with lots of love.

For the relation of the "ELPIDA" Association and Mrs Vardinoyiannis with Sakis Rouvas
The public considers that:

- Sakis Rouvas is the dynamic vehicle of “ELPIDA” towards the society.
- People come closer to Marianna Vardinoyannis and the “ELPIDA” Association through Sakis Rouvas.
Conclusion:

The public acknowledges them positively and is looking forward to further steps of similar kind. In the future, as the people's expectations are very high, "aid" will be needed from "spontaneous" initiatives emerging from the sensitivity and care of Sakis Rouvas.
