A large number of children from all schools in Gozo attended a Mass at Ta` Pinu today dedicated to Leah. Each school presented the donations collected during the World Children's Day event held in November, when all schools took part in a Uniform Free Day, with the aim to raise funds for Puttinu Cares.

The Minister for Gozo Dr Anton Refalo praised the children for their generosity. He explained how this money will be used to provide assistance to other children who are currently going through difficult moments in their lives.

The donations collected in this activity were presented to Puttinu Cares during the Mass today at Ta' Pinu led by the Bishop of Gozo Mario Grech. The Mass was also broadcast live on tvm2.

At the end of Mass cribs were distributed, made from the wood of olive trees. These Cribs were purchased by the Ministry for Gozo, from Bethlehem in Palestine.

The Minister urged the children to visit the Sports complex in Victoria this Saturday and Sunday, when there will be a family weekend of activities for Christmas – A Children`s World.

The Minister thanked the Gozo College and the Curia for their support and assistance in making this event such a success
