19 years since the PlayStation Portable was launched

Mar 26 2024

Can you believe it’s been 19 years since the PlayStation Portable (PSP) changed the game for handheld consoles? Sony’s sleek, pocket-sized powerhouse burst onto the scene in 2005, redefining portable gaming with its impressive graphics and diverse gaming library. Suddenly, gaming wasn’t just confined to living rooms anymore; it was wherever you wanted it to be.

The PSP wasn’t just about gaming; it was a multimedia marvel, allowing users to watch movies, listen to music, browse the internet, and connect with other players for multiplayer showdowns. Its UMD format, though a bit clunky, added a nostalgic charm, and collecting physical copies of favourite games became a badge of honour for many.

Despite its quirks, the PSP captured the hearts of gamers worldwide, leaving an indelible mark on the gaming industry. Its legacy lives on in successors like the PlayStation Vita and the mobile gaming landscape.

Golden Bay Beach Cleanup Organised by English Path & GBS Malta

Mar 25 2024

Last Saturday, English Path & GBS Malta joined hands for a noble cause – a beach cleanup event at Golden Bay. With a dynamic mix of management staff, academics, and enthusiastic students, the collective mission was crystal clear: to remove litter from one of Malta’s pristine beaches and maintain its natural beauty.

Apart from a cleanup activity, the event doubled as a fantastic team-building exercise, breaking the teams free from their usual office attire and immersing themselves in a shared goal of environmental conservation. At their core, they believe in making meaningful contributions to their communities – a value that resonates deeply with each member of the organisation.

For English Path & GBS Malta, community involvement isn’t just a checkbox; it’s a passion they hold close to their hearts. That’s why their events calendar brims with opportunities for service, with a minimum of 4 to 6 impactful events scheduled each year. From a cleanup event at St. Paul’s Bay to lending a helping hand to Puttinu Cares and Len & Jacob, the commitment to making a difference knows no limits.

But the journey doesn’t end there. Next month, they are gearing up to extend their support to the Island Sanctuary, continuing the tradition of giving back to causes that matter.

Join in as English Path & GBS Malta champion environmental stewardship, teamwork, and community spirit. Together, we can create waves of change that ripple far beyond the shores of Golden Bay.
