Ikla bi Mħabba Brings Joy to Elderly at San Vinċenz De Paul

Feb 15 2025 Share

Over 85 elderly residents at San Vinċenz De Paul enjoyed a heartwarming meal in an event designed to foster joy and togetherness in their home.

The initiative, inspired by Dr Lydia Abela, mirrors her Christmas project Rigal bi Mħabba for children and now extends to seniors on Valentine’s Day.

Dr Abela collaborated with MasterChef Malta contestants Andrew Debattista, Nicholas Bartolo, Florina Silvio, and Ian Agius, along with San Vinċenz management, to create a nutritious and varied menu.

With performances by singers Glen Vella and Jasmine Abela, Ikla bi Mħabba offered a few hours of entertainment to residents, including those who rarely receive visitors and may experience loneliness.

Dr Abela highlighted Malta’s values of love and compassion. “Our message today is that we must support, uplift, and bring joy to one another,” she stated.

The elderly expressed their gratitude, noting they had not expected to enjoy themselves so much.

This was the first edition of Meal with Love, with plans for it to become an annual tradition, reaching even more seniors in the years to come.
