International Christmas Fair raises record funds for charity
Pictured above: Hellenic dancers were among the entertainment
Sunday’s Fair at the InterContinental Malta smashed all expectations by raising over 14,000€ for SOAR and FIDEM. Organised by the Association of International Women in Malta (AIWM), it treated over 1700 visitors to Dutch singer Thijs de Bree, Santa, Greek dancing, demonstrations from silk painting to ancient Polish medieval candle making as well as 35 carefully chosen artisans selling a wide range of beautiful items.
The Association chose to support SOAR in their work enabling survivors of violence in intimate relationships to pick up the pieces and bounce back with resilience. FIDEM was the other priority for its valuable contribution to providing life-changing access to education and wellbeing guidance to vulnerable women, adolescent girls and children across Malta and Gozo.
Ina Henkels was delighted to win the grand raffle’s top prize of a luxury weekend for two at Villa Fiorita, Taormina sponsored by Steffi Portelli. Thanks to the amazing prizes donated, the raffle itself raised a record breaking 8000€ towards the total.
