Facebook page set up to complete the late Julian Spiteri’s bucket list goals

Late Julian Spiteri’s bucket list goals to be completed by NGO

Aug 24 2021

19-year-old Julian Spiteri passed away suddenly in a car accident back in April, leaving the whole country shocked. Having written a bucket list at the age of 17, family and friends have taken it upon themselves to finish off what Julian dreamed about doing in his life, by setting up a Facebook page that was appropriately and beautifully called ‘Julian’s Bucket List Challenge’. It is set to launch with a Malta-Gozo swim scheduled for the 2nd of September.

The organisers will be donating all proceeds to the Ladybird foundation this year. The swim was one of Julian’s many goals, and is set to be completed by around 15 to 20 swimmers and around 20 kayakers made up of his friends, family and even some strangers. The list also included things like getting a PhD, seeing the Northern Lights and even milking a cow. This initiative is giving the opportunity for people to honour the young man whose time was cut short by ticking off as many items off the bucket list.

Huge Sony deal for local musician Luke Chappell

Aug 24 2021

After local artist Luke Chappell posted a TikTok video of himself singing Hold On, a record deal was sent to him shortly after his huge success with his other single Lonely Again. The singer revealed that he is immensely blessed to have arrived to such a place through his art and music, despite having gone through some difficult moments. He opened up in a statement revealing how the only way for him to deal with emotions properly is by writing them in a journal and then turning them into lyrics.

Chappell’s headline hits came following his X-Factor debut, but he is now moving out of the competitions’ shadow to become something completely new. Thanks to his talent management Paul Leger, the deal with Sony was struck, opening up more doors for Chappell to test his artistic capabilities. As this goes on, he is also set to release more music as he works with Insynk Collective Studios. Depending on agreements with Sony, he is also set to drop a massive project later on this year.

Don’t scapegoat English language schools about Delta variant says FELTOM

Aug 24 2021

The Federation of English language schools has slammed allegedly unsubstantiated and harmful claims that unvaccinated foreign students were responsible for spreading the Delta variant in Malta. FELTOM reacted to a Times of Malta interview in which Tanya Mellilo, who is the head of the Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Unit, stated that unvaccinated foreign students brought the Delta variant to our shores.

FELTOM objected to the statement, highlighting the fact that similar discrediting blanket statements have led to ‘discriminatory damaging actions against the industry and those whose livelihood depends on it.’ The federation pointed to Malta’s case spike after July 9th 2021 as showing that there was no way to determine who actually spread the Delta variant.

FELTOM called for this ‘scapegoating’ of English language students and those in the industry to stop, stating that the virus does not discriminate between nationalities and one must bear in mind that both locals and foreigners travelled during the period of time mentioned above.
