Busuttil appeals for more contributions towards Dar tal-Providenza

The training for this year’s BOV Volleyball Marathon in aid of Dar tal-Providenza enters its final stage, as the 40 athletes, which will form the teams of the 53-hour marathon, participated in the 24 hour non-stop trial.

The Parliamentary Secretary for Research, Innovation, Youth and Sport, Chris Agius, as well as Leader of the Opposition, Simon Busuttil, visited the players and the volunteers at the Dar Tal-Providenza. Busuttil was accompanied by MPs Robert Cutajar and Stephen Spiteri.

Whilst Agius commended the players and those who take part in the marathon and thanked them for their efforts for this good cause, Busuttil thanked the players for their effort and defined this marathon as an “experience of solidarity”. He emphasized the importance of solidarity for a healthy society.

Both made an appeal to the Maltese to contribute towards the aim of generating much needed funds for the Dar tal-Providenza. The Director of Id-Dar tal-Providenza, Fr. Martin Micallef, thanked Agius and Busuttil for their visit and expressed his gratitude towards the support always showed towards the Residence.

The annual marathon will be held between the 4th and 6th of July at the Grounds of id-Dar tal-Providenza.
