Mar 23 2022

The Minister for Home Affairs, National Security and Law Enforcement Byron Camilleri put on firemen boots and suit to spend a day with the safety and security personnel.

He said that it is not easy to do their job, but he decided to try it out to get to know the ins-and-outs of the sector. Camilleri, who will be contesting the 2nd and 4th districts, revealed that he even dealt with a fire along with the servicemen.

‘We of course took the necessary precautions as I am not trained like them’ said Camilleri. ‘I could appreciate how difficult of a job being a firemen is. I saw what they go through even in a controlled environment. I can only imagine what goes on in more dangerous environments.’

Cancer survivor dedicates masters degree to Dr Victor Calvagna

Mar 23 2022

The late Puttinu founder and doctor Victor Calvagna left his mark on many throughout his life and career. Among them was Martina Fenech, who dedicated her Masters of Arts Degree in Health, Medicine and Society to the late doctor.

Posting to Facebook, Fenech opened up about how 10 years ago in March of 2012, she received her cancer diagnosis. She said that thanks to her family, friends but also Puttinu Cares, Calvagna and his team, she survived cancer.

‘Yet, I did not stop there’ she said. ‘Perhaps it was part of my grieving, my own therapy, or anything else that led me to focus my studies on oncology from a social perspective.’

She revealed how she coincidentally graduated with her Masters of Arts, with a dissertation about life after cancer for childhood/teenager survivors, on the birthday of Calvagna, ‘her lifesaver’, himself.

‘Dr. Victor Calvagna, I dedicate this masters to you as hadn’t it been for your courage to introduce paediatric oncology to these islands, I wouldn’t be here today with this research close to my heart’ she said.

‘I did regret that I did not manage to give you my study for you to read as you requested, but am sure you are witnessing this from heaven with my guardian angels.’

She went on to send a strong message to other cancer patients. She said that despite having to stop her studies earlier on in life due to cancer, she managed to overcome all her obstacles.’

‘Do not give up. If you loved your life before cancer, do not be afraid of life after cancer. You will find beauty again.’
