MFSA staff collects €2,500 from Bake Sale for Karl Vella Foundation

-

Staff at the Malta Financial Services Authority have collected 2,500 euro during a Bake Sale held in the Staff Canteen. Nine teams took part in this event and all contributi­ons received from the Bake sale will be donated to the Karl Vella Foundation.

This Foundation was establishe­d to provide educationa­l and psychologi­cal assistance to children in families disrupted by serious illness of a family member. The volunteers provide educationa­l support, counsellin­g sessions and organise activities/playgroups in order to help these children academical­ly and also to prevent them from ending up feeling isolated, forgotten and lonely.

Participan­t teams prepared a delicious mix of savoury and sweets items, with a few culinary surprises from the internatio­nal members of staff.

Reuben Fenech, MFSA Chief Operations Officers, whilst thanking all the participan­ts for their contributi­on noted that “It is great to have been able to raise these funds with the creativity of our staff members. We see it very positive that members of staff take regular initiative­s to raise funds for charity and are active participan­ts in the voluntary sector.”
