A CD of Maltese poems and nursery rhymes, set to music by prolific composer Mro Dominic Galea, and a supporting website has just been launched

The CD, entitled ‘Taqbila,’ contains 17 rhymes which older people would have learnt in their childhood, including: Il-Bewsa tan-Nanna, Warda and Wenzu l-Iskarpan.

According to APS Bank’s Chairman, Mr. E.P. Delia, which is supporting these two projects as part of its contribution to the local community: “The aim of the compilation is to introduce these poems and nursery rhymes to a whole new generation.”

“We also wish to support the ‘Come to Me’ children’s charity, run by Mgr Victor Zammit McKeon on behalf of the Archdiocese of Malta, since the proceeds from the sale of the CD, which costs only €2.50, will go directly to this organisation.”

To further enhance the experience, a Maltese language website, www.qawsalla.com, was also launched. This contains the music scores and lyrics of the songs on the CD, as well as other educational and entertainment content for children.

This includes a virtual online art exhibition space, study worksheets for children from year 1 to year 6 of Primary Schools and other interesting attractions.

APS Bank will be promoting this CD with various institutions such as Schools, NGOs and Local Councils in order to disseminate these poems and in the meantime collect funds for ‘Come to Me.’

Anybody iwho would like to purchase this CD can do so from APS Bank by sending an email on mktg@apsbank.com.mt or by accessing www.qawsalla.com.
