May 10 2021

Looking to gift a wonderful mother for Mother’s Day, Ben Camille was asked by eight-year-old Henry’s mother Lorinda to surprise her son with a huge giveaway. Henry was born with a lack of abdominal muscle, with 50% of kids born with said condition dying at birth. Henry has undergone 13 medical operations throughout his life, but despite this he is an immensely joyful and vibrant soul.

For ‘Ben Camille Chats’, the local personality surprised Henry with a free giveaway from Klikk Computers Malta, where he got to choose any gadget he wished for, with the boy seizing the opportunity to have more of his favourite Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS games. Well done Ben Camille for the kind gesture! And we are looking forward to your challenge with Henry on Mario Kart!

May 10 2021

In an investigation carried out by Popolin, it was discovered that 52% of Maltese youth do not use contraceptives when engaging in sexual activity. Researching sexual education and resources allocated to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, it was discovered that 43% of males and 61% of females of 15-years-and-up do not mind not using contraceptives such as condoms or pills.

In reference to previous studies concerning the 2018-2019 scholastic year, 31 female students ended up pregnant – 17 of these at 16-years-old, 11 at 15-years-old and 3 at the age of 14. Popolin spoke to PSCD education official Stephen Camilleri, who stated that education regarding these topics should begin at primary as one’s sexual identity begins to develop the course of one’s entire life.
