Various donations for Puttinu Cares as Christmas kicks off in Malta

Dec 24 2022

NGO Puttinu Cares welcomed various people and groups who wanted to donate something special for this festive season.

Ahead of the annual Istrina fundraiser, many others decided to kick off the donations to the NGO who helps many, especially children, in their battle against cancer.

A group of people from Qormi donated a large sum of €1,040 to Puttinu and they did it in Christmas costumes – featuring Santa Claus, Ms. Claus and an elf!

But they weren’t the only ones donating to the NGO as Gwen’s Cooking Club also donated the sum of €1,165 to Puttinu Cares, raising the sum by cooking and selling 50 Christmas Rocky Road Cakes.

‘It was a difficult week’ said Gwen, ‘As I had to prepare, package and deliver them house by house. I wish to thank the parents from the bottom of my heart for the support and patience they show me.’

Such donations are a reminder for many of us to give something special to those in need this Christmas as we can make the holidays at least a little bit better for someone around us.

Dec 24 2022

We’ve seen some crazy tattoos and hairstyles pertaining to the Qatar 2022 World Cup following Argentina’s win.

However, a Colombian fan of the team’s star player Lionel Messi has gone and usurped all possible stunts to show his love for the team with this insane tattoo.

Mike Jambs, a social media personality known for his prank videos, has gone and literally tattooed the surname of Lionel Messi on his forehead as well as D10S, a combination of the Spanish word for God and the number 10 on the player’s journey and three stars on both cheeks.

Jambs documented the painful process on his social media and then went on to ask people in public what they think of his Messi tattoo.

We commend Jambs for his dedication to Messi and the Argentinian team…
