Eight Kirkop families benefit from €1.3 million investment in social accommodation
Apr 26 2023 Share

Minister for Social Accommodation Roderick Galdes has inaugurated a new social accommodation project, with a €1.3 million investment in Kirkop.

This project will welcome eight families, who underwent an application and verification project, according to the government’s allocation strategy launched in 2021.

Minister Galdes said that the project is part of a social revolution within the accommodation sector, which started in the past years to assure better quality of life. He emphasised that a decent and adequate roof over families’ heads is a right, that the government, together with the Housing Authority, will continue to work towards not only reaching but strengthening.

“This building will be changed into a decent home for eight families, who will wholly integrate into the heart of the community. The aim is to not only build projects for social accommodation, but to provide them to those who truly need them, so they are used to boost the quality of life. This is what we mean when we, as a government, speak about social justice”, Galdes concluded.

Kirkop Mayor Terence Agius was also present for the inauguration of the investment.

"Ġej is-Sajf!" Here Are 6 Essentials For Summer In Malta
Apr 26 2023 Share

Summer in Malta is a time of heat, sunshine, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors. But as any Maltese resident knows, summer in this Mediterranean country can also be a challenge, especially if you’re not prepared with the right essentials. Here are six must-have items for anyone living in Malta during the summer months.

Baggy White Tee

A baggy white tee is the perfect choice for those hot summer days when you want to stay cool and comfortable. This simple, versatile item can be dressed up or down, and is perfect for pairing with shorts, skirts or jeans. It’s also great for protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful rays, while still allowing your skin to breathe.

Pair of Adidas Gazelles

When it comes to summer footwear, you can’t go wrong with a pair of Adidas Gazelles. These classic sneakers are both stylish and comfortable, making them the perfect choice for walking around Malta’s streets or beaches. Plus, they come in a variety of colours, so you can choose the perfect pair to match your summer wardrobe.

Sunglasses

Sunglasses are a must-have for anyone living in Malta during the summer months. Not only do they protect your eyes from the bright sun, but they also add a stylish touch to any outfit. Look for a pair that offers 100% UV protection and fits comfortably on your face.

Deodorant

When temperatures soar, sweat is inevitable. To avoid feeling self-conscious about body odour, make sure to pack a reliable deodorant. Look for one that’s designed to last all day, and opt for a scent that’s light and fresh.

Air Conditioning

If you’re living in Malta during the summer months, air conditioning is an absolute must. Whether you’re at home or in the office, having a reliable AC system can make all the difference in staying cool and comfortable during the hottest days of the year.

Tote Bag

Finally, a tote bag is the perfect accessory for anyone living in Malta during the summer months. Whether you’re heading to the beach or running errands around town, a tote bag can hold all of your essentials while still looking stylish. Look for one that’s made from lightweight, breathable materials like cotton or canvas.

In conclusion, these six essentials are must-haves for anyone living in Malta during the summer months. By staying prepared with a baggy white tee, a pair of Adidas Gazelles, sunglasses, deodorant, air conditioning and a tote bag, you’ll be ready to take on whatever the season throws your way.

Claudio Camilleri and Daniel Abela, who have faced each other on the football pitch back in their childhood, will be running up to 500 laps around the Marsa track to fund psychological care for children. 

Under the care of Fondazzjoni Sebħ, an NGO that engages 80 workers to provide round-the-clock support for 41 children and mothers escaping violence with their kids, the pair will be undertaking the challenge between Sunday 30th April and Monday 1st May.  

Hospitality consultant Claudio Camilleri will be attempting 200km on a 400m track in 35 hours at the age of 46.  For his part, Daniel Abela will test how far he can go to raise enough money for The Children in Need Foundation and thus fund regular therapy sessions for the kids at the foundation’s home. 

The event is called 1Run1Childhood, and also aims to urge companies and people to contribute to the cause and see the project survive for up to the next three years. 

If you wish to support their cause, you can do so by visiting the pages of 1RUN or Abela and Camilleri themselves. Way to go lads!

Infrastructure and Transport Minister Aaron Farrugia announced today the launch of Connections for Safer Active Mobility Project, through an investment €35 million spread over 5 years. 

The nationwide plan is designed for ‘promoting and enhancing the use of alternative modes of transport with safer pedestrian and cycling connections.’ 

Among the projects are a Mobility Hub in Blata l-Bajda Interchange as well as the C-Sam ‘Eco Route’ Network Project. 

In a statement, Minister Farrugia explained how the first phase will revolve around the Grand Harbour area to create an adequate and secure infrastructure for those wishing to walk, use bikes or other means which are not private vehicles. 

‘Through this project we aim to change the mentality and promote the use of active mobility whilst educating people on how using a car is not always the best option’ said Farrugia.
