Il-ħwienet tal-fwieħa FRANKS heġġew lil kulħadd biex iħarsu lejn il-festa ta’ San Valentinu bħala żmien li fih wieħed għandu aktar jagħti milli jirċievi. Permezz ta’ għadd ta’ ‘LOVE’ banners talbu lill-klijenti tagħhom biex jagħtu 50 ċenteżmu u jkunu jistgħui iwaħħlu fjura fuq il-banners li spiċċaw f’dehra tassew sabiħa fil-hwienet tagħhom kollha. Fil-ġimgħa ta’ qabel Jum San Valentinu nġabret is-somma ta’ €500, riżultat ta’ ideja li minbarra li kienet parti mit-tiżjin dekorattiv fil-ħwienet kienet ukoll mod kif wieħed jista’ jagħti ftit imħabba lura.

Beauty and fragrance chain FRANKS encouraged all to see Valentine’s as a time of giving rather than receiving. Through the creation of LOVE signs they approached their clients to donate 50 cents to pin a flower on the montage, leading to a beautiful display across all seven outlets. During the week leading up to Valentine’s Day €500 was collected, all through an idea which acted as both instore animation for the store, as well as a way of giving some love back.
All donations were given to Dar Tal-Providenza.

The President of Malta, Dr George Abela made a last official visit to Id-Dar tal-Providenza in Siġġiewi before he ends his tenure of office in a few weeks time. He has made it a point to visit the Home many times during his presidency to show his endearment to the Home and above all his commitment in favour of equal opportunities for persons with disability in Malta. In his welcome speech, Fr Martin Micallef, Director of Id-Dar tal-Providenza, highlighted part of the speech that the President made five years ago where he appealed for an inclusive society based on social justice and solidarity. A kindhearted society that embraces everyone, whatever the status and culture.
When meeting the residents. Dr Abela reiterated the need for a kindhearted society and praised what he termed as the vocation of the carers that work with the Home’s residents with so much care, dedication and love. President Abela said he hoped that Id-Dar tal-Providenza continues to have dedicated administrators and workers to improve even more the quality service offered to its residents.
During lunch in honour of the President, Fr Martin presented Dr Abela with a set of books that contained the Encyclicals and Apostolic Exhortations of Pope John Paul II.

Il-President ta’ Malta, Dr George Abela għamel l-aħħar żjara uffiċċjali tiegħu fid-Dar tal-Providenza qabel ma jtemm il-ħatra fi ftit ġimgħat oħra. Huwa żar bosta drabi id-Dar fis-Siġġiewi tul il-presidenza tiegħu biex bħalma qal Fr Martin Micallef, Direttur tad-Dar tal-Providenza, f’diskors ta’ merħba, juri bil-fatti kemm għandu għal qalbu lil din id-Dar u fuq kollox l-impenn tiegħu favur opportunitajiet indaqs għall-persuni b’diżabilita f’Malta. Fr Martin fakkar fl-indirizz li kien għamel f’jum il-ħatra tiegħu ħames snin ilu, meta l-President Abela għamel sejħa biex nibnu dejjem aktar “soċjetà inklussiva bbażata fuq l-obbligu tat-twettiq tal-ġustizzja soċjali u tas-solidarjetà. Soċjetà ħanina li fiha għandu jkun hemm post għal kulħadd, hi x’inhi l-qagħda u l-kultura ta’ dak li jkun”.
Meta ltaqa’ mar-residenti, Dr Abela reġa’ semma l-ħtieġa ta’ soċjetà ħanina u faħħar dak li huwa sejjaħ il-vokazzjoni tal-ħaddiema li jaħdmu mar-residenti tad-Dar b’tant għożża, dedikazzjoni u mħabba. Jalla, temm jgħid il-President Abela, id-Dar tal-Providenza tkompli jkollha mexxejja u ħaddiema għaqlin u dedikati biex itejjbu dejjem iżjed is-servizz ta’ kwalità li joffru lir-residenti.
Waqt ikla li saret f’ġieħ il-President, Fr Martin ippreżenta lil Dr Abela b’sett ta’ kotba, li jinkorporaw l-Enċikliċi u l-Eżortazzjonijiet Appostoliċi tal-Papa Ġwanni Pawlu II.

A hundred-and-four years ago, exactly on the 10th February 1910, Dun Mikiel, the Founder and first director of Id-Dar tal-Providenza was born in Valletta. Who can ever separate Dun Mikiel from Id-Dar tal-Providenza? God willing, next year we will be celebrating fifty years of the Homes for persons with disability.
