MDA raises funds for Malta Community Chest Fund
The activity organised by the Malta Developers Association bears further witness to a people who knows how to show the value of unconditional love.
The President of Malta, Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca, said this during a dinner organised at the Montekristo Estate, in aid of the Malta Community Chest Fund on Thursday, 24 July, 2014.
President Coleiro Preca thanked the MDA for organising the activity which raised €36,500. She maintained that the time has come that together we rise above the level of pity for those who resort to assistance and we give them dignity through solidarity.
The President of Malta explained that, unfortunately in the past 10 years, the incidence of cancer has doubled and the Malta Community Chest Fund is the only national fund that is providing funds for this care.
“The Malta Community Chest Fund can be considered as the fund, sustained by the people of Malta and Gozo, that also works to save lives,” President Coleiro Preca maintained.
Meanwhile, Sandro Chetcuti, President of the MDA, this was a gesture towards the Malta Community Chest Fund that came from the heart.
“I appeal to all the members and benefactors so that they will seek the riches of the heart and help people in need because you cannot compare this with material riches,” Mr Chetcuti concluded.
