The BOV Istrina Piggy Bank Campaign is reaching its final stages with the collection of Piggy Banks from all schools in Malta and Gozo to commence on the 14th of December 2009.
Ms Margaret Abela, Deputy Chairperson of the Malta Community Chest Fund, visited over 20 schools since the launch of the campaign in October to create more awareness about the campaign and encourage schoolchildren to give their little share to help others. Edward Muscat Azzopardi, Head Marketing at Bank of Valletta accompanied Ms Abela during the last school visit for this campaign at Sacred Heart School in St Julians.’ “With every small donation you will be participating actively in the collection that will be utilized to help those in need,” said Mr Muscat Azzopardi. “Bank of Valletta will top up the amount collected through the campaign and present it during the live broadcast of L-Istrina on Boxing Day.”
Ira Losco, a past student of Sacred Heart School, accompanied Mrs Abela during this last visit of the campaign where she gave a rendition of her song ‘Standing on the Shoulder of Giants,’ to the delighted kids.
