Air Malta staff fulfil 67 children’s dreams

-

Sixty-seven children had their dreams come true following the yearly Bake Sale organised by Team Air Malta – the airline’s Sport and Social Club.

“€1,415 were raised this year and this money was used to buy these children their preferred presents and make them happy,” said Vanessa Muscat from Team Air Malta. “We are very happy that through such activities we can make a difference and I wish to thank all Air Malta staff who contribute­d towards making this activity a success.”

The Bake Sale is a yearly activity organised by the club together with several Air Malta staff who donate their home-made sweets and sell them to their colleagues.

A number of entities also participat­ed in this event and included The Sweet Almond Cakes & Bakes, LaNovita Caterers, Catrice Malta, Fat Harry’s Pub, James Caterers Ltd & YUE Bistro By Munchies.

Children’s Dreams is a project organised in collaborat­ion with Aġenzija Appoġġ. This is the third year that Air Malta has supported this noble cause. The project aims to help parents who are facing various social difficulti­es realise their children’s dreams.

“Air Malta was one of the first Maltese organisati­ons on the islands to drive forward the concept of Corporate Social Responsibi­lity. Since its inception, the airline has contribute­d hundreds of thousands of euros and assisted various organisati­ons and individual­s in diverse fields including humanitari­an, medical, philanthro­pic, cultural and heritage protection, sports and environmen­tal initiative­s. As the islands’ national airline, Air Malta carries its responsibi­lity to continue supporting the local community. No other airline operating in Malta provides continued support to voluntary and non-government­al organisati­ons like Air Malta. Such initiative­s show the commitment and support the airline has towards the Maltese community,” added Stephen Gauci, Air Malta’s Head of Corporate Communicat­ions.
