This year’s edition of the L-Istrina BOV Piggy Bank Campaign has been launched by President Dr George Vella and Mrs Vella.

Also present for the launch were Charles Azzopardi, Executive CSR and Communications at Bank of Valletta, Frank Fabri, Permanent Secretary within the Ministry of Education and the Heads of Schools participating in the campaign.

The Piggy Banks will once again be made of recyclable cardboard, to reduce the impact on the environment, and three different piggy banks will feature drawings by the winners of a competition organised by the Malta Community Chest Fund Foundation for schoolchildren.

”The purpose of the L-Istrina BOV Piggy Bank Campaign is to raise awareness even among our children about the importance of helping those in need,” said Dr Vella.

‘This campaign requires a lot of effort, both from Bank of Valletta and the Malta Community Chest Fund Foundation,” said Charles Azzopardi.

”It includes the organisation of the kids drawing competition, the design and printing of the piggy banks, the distribution in schools, the collection, the sorting and the sorting and counting of the coins. All these efforts depend on the participation of schoolchildren, their parents, and the dedicated staff at all of Malta’s schools,” he said.
