On January 1st 2013, Dar tal-Providenza will host thousands of people for the Festa ta’ Generozità organised by RTK4Charity to collect funds for the Homes.
It needs €10,000 daily to keep operating and Id-Dar tal-Providenza is requesting that the Maltese people help out by donating money.
The live television broadcast will start at 9.00am with Holy Mass from the chapel of the Home and will continue up to just after midnight when the total sum collected during the day will be announced.
Personalities visiting the Home during this event will include the President of Malta, Dr George Abela; the Prime Minister, Dr Lawrence Gonzi; the Leader of the Opposition, Dr Joseph Muscat; the Archbishop, Mons. Pawl Cremona; Auxillary Bishop Mgr Charles Scicluna, the Bishop of Gozo, Mons. Mario Grech and the Archbishop Emeritus, Mgr Joseph Mercieca.
During the day, the televised programme will include entertainment provided by the top singers on the island, various entertainers and village bands to create a festive family atmosphere.
During the afternoon there will also be fun and games for children. A shuttle service is being provided to the Home from the main square in Siggiewi as well as from the old runway on Triq San Niklaw that is being turned into a parking lot.
This is being done to encourage drivers to park in these sites and avoid the usual congestion that clogs the only road that leads to Dar tal-Providenza.
Donations are already being taken on the following numbers:
€10 – 516 02 012
€15 – 517 02 013
€25 – 518 02 014
You can also donate €7 via sms on 506 18 922.
