THE PRESIDENT OF MALTA PRESENTS LM5,000 TO FOUR ORGANISATIONS ON BEHALF OF THE MALTA COMMUNITY CHEST FUND

H.E. Prof. Guido de Marco, President of Malta, and Mrs. de Marco, this morning presented a total of Lm5,000 on behalf of the Malta Community Chest Fund to four philanthropic organisations.

The four beneficiaries are the Little Sisters of the Poor, the Samaritans, represented by former President Miss Agatha Barbara, Malta Hospice Movement and Ghaqda Ghat-Trasport ta' Lourdes. These institutions benefit from financial assistance from the Malta Community Chest Fund on an annual basis.

Presenting the cheques, the President explained that the MCCF addresses its work in two ways: apart from dealing directly with the hundreds of applications from individuals, the MCCF also acknowledges the sterling work carried out by several other organisations.
