Some 350 disadvantaged children from various homes and organisations across Malta were treated to a party organised by the HSBC Malta Foundation to coincide with carnival festivities.

This event also received support from the Dolmen Resort Hotel, JUGS Malta Ltd – the creative team building and event organising company, and MCAST Institute of Community Services, whose Hairdressing and Beauty Courses students contributed face painting and hair designs for volunteering children.

Facilitating support, education and self-development for children in care home is one of the main aims of the HSBC Malta Foundation, which organises various activities so as to offer a better quality of life to children facing social or physical challenges.

“The HSBC Malta Foundation recognises that social activities can be as important developmentally as educational activities. This party is just one of the ways through which the HSBC Malta Foundation treats children in homes while also helping them feel a part of ongoing events,” said Catherine Gonzi, Chairperson of the Foundation. She joined the children during the party organised at the Dolmen Hotel in Qawra.

During the party, children enjoyed themselves by playing, singing and dancing with the lively animators and performers.
