Good turnout of Vassallo Group employees in yearly CSR event

A record number of employees from across Vassallo Group participated in this year’s annual Corporate Social Responsibility event carried out at St Francis de Paule home for children in Birkirkara.

Run by the Malta Archdiocese’s Commission for Children’s Homes, this home in Birkirkara is currently hosting a number of children who previously resided at Fra Diegu Home.

The area within and around the home was a hive of activity with Vassallo Builders employees doing the construction work required while other employees from the same company as well as from CareMalta and CaterEssence helped out in clearing old tiles and furniture from the ground floor which will soon be transformed into modern and comfortable living quarters for the children. A number of employees helped out in cleaning the area where the children are currently living.

HR director Charlo Bonnici ex- plained that once again a number of employees joined this CSR event giving up their free time on a Saturday morning to help out in making the lives of a number of children a more comfortable one. “This event brings out the altruistic and caring spirit of our employees, reflecting the general philosophy within our Group that of being a private company with a public and social conscience.”

Vassallo Group chairman, Nazzareno Vassallo as well as the director of Children’s Homes, Andrew Azzopardi visited the employees during the event and thanked them for their work.
