WATCH: Acts of Kindness: Beating the heat with FREE ICE-CREAM

Jul 24 2021

Beyond the myriad of benefits of living on this gorgeous Mediterranean island, one of the occasional drawbacks is that the scorching summer heat reaches record-high levels and the country literally becomes too hot to handle. Thankfully, this week, Malta Daily has set out on a mission to spread kindness and good vibes (and loads of other goodies!) across the island.

After weeks upon weeks of fight videos circulating on social media, we thought it was about time that everyone chills out, which is why Andrew and the team took to Sliema’s beaches out some delicious ice-creams provided by one of our partners Sammontana.

Receiving a free ice-cream is always a plus, but receiving it on the beach on a hot Maltese summer’s day is more than enough to incentivise someone to spread the kindness. So take that message home; understand that any single one of us may be going through a tough day, week or period and it only takes a little effort and enthusiasm to make their days better.

Next time you’re having a bad day, pay it forward and spread the kindness in the best way you can. You never know, someone might approach you with an act of kindness of their own.

Sammontana, a well-established brand in Malta offering authentic Italian Ice cream, known for their superior quality and vast range of products that cater for any individuals. Delivering smiles to those passing by!

WATCH: Acts of Kindness: A week of free ice-cream, salads, taxi rides and petrol vouchers

Jul 24 2021

Over the past week, Malta Daily set out on a unique journey to instil some happiness across the island. Whether it stemmed from the pandemic-induced stress, the scorching hot weather or anything else, it seemed as if the entire nation was under immense stress and we’ve been seeing street fights and heated online arguments break out almost every single day.

That’s why over the past few days, Malta Daily teamed up with some amazing local brands and took to the streets to give out some free goodies in an attempt to make their days a little bit better through random acts of kindness. In the series of videos, we gave out free petrol vouchers from Enemed, free ice-cream from Sammontana, salads from Salad Box and free taxi rides thanks to Ryde and one could clearly see how such a random act of kindness puts a smile on people’s face.

Acts of Kindness. 💛

Throughout the entirety of this week, the point of the whole exercise was to encourage residents of the Maltese islands to utilise a little bit of their time and energy to conduct a random act of kindness. No matter how little it may be, one small act such as this may serve as inspiration and (hopefully) create a positive chain of kind acts.
