The Malta Council for the Voluntary Sector, whose objectives are amongst others to stimulate co-operation and networking amongst voluntary organisations as well as with the private companies in order to support, develop and promote the interests and work of all voluntary organizations in Malta & Gozo, is supporting this initiative. Mr. Mauro Pace Parascandalo, Executive Secretary, explained how a call for potential projects was issued by MCVS earlier this year where several project proposals were received. The project chosen was that of Moviment Missjunarju Gesu fil-Proxxmu, which met most the set criteria.

Fr George Grima from Moviment Missjunarju Gesu fil-Proxxmu explained that in the city of Sao Luis in Brazil still have numerous cases of leprosy. The city hosts a specialized hospital however families of these patient need attention and the movement harbors young kids in their crèche ‘Creche Nossa Senhora das Gracas. The crèche was built some years ago but with the ever increasing need to welcome more kids they have decided to act quickly and build another class. They already managed to raise 35% of the amount needed, but it’s still a long way from being fully-financed.
