A whopping €25,000 were raised to repatriate Ajay Shrestha’s body back to Nepal so that the burial process can commence.
The initial target was to raise up to €7,000 but the raising of funds continued on well post the target. The rest of the money will be given as financial aid to his family back in Nepal.
The raising of funds was launched on Friday, with the target amount collected in just four hours. Another €700 were also raised from a separate fundraiser organised by a Maltese woman who wanted to support Ajay’s family.
Shrestha was sadly killed when a lorry overturned in Marsa last week. With the body released for burial, his body should arrive on Saturday in Nepal. The 28-year-old was working as a food-courier driving a motorcycle when he was hit by a lamp-post and scrap metal on the lorry.
Relatives and friends demanded answers on why the accident happened as they await the body to arrive so that the Hindu funeral ritual could commence.

After the bustling entertainment hub of St. Julian’s welcomed another 34-storey tower after it was given the green light by the Environment Resources and Authority (ERA), new designs show what the area could end up looking like.
The development will include a 34-storey tower next to Bay Street, as well as another 27-storey tower in the middle of the 50,000 square meter site as a large public square between the two buildings. However, ERA has concluded that the high-rise development at Villa Rosa warrants a new environment impact assessment (EIA) to assess its impacts on the protected Ħarq Ħammiem valley.
ERA expressed concerns that the high rise development proposed on the site could result in the ‘shadowing’ of the adjacent protected natural areas. It also expressed concern that excavations will be conducted nearer to the Ħarq Ħammiem cave than previously envisaged in a permit issued four years ago.The development includes a huge public open space over 20,086 square meters, including a piazza, natural areas and circulation spaces within the Villa Rosa Grounds and a 3,277 square meter open space at Cresta Quay.
ERA expressed concern at the significant intensification of development proposed on the site. Since the open space will be located between the proposed buildings and the promenade along the coast, the most intensive development will be pushed to the periphery of the site. According to a project development statement by developers, the project will create a signature destination for Malta by offering a quality tourism destination and enriching the local community.

Instagram influencer and model Sarah Zerafa took to Instagram to highlight how she has decided to fully embrace her beautiful imperfections.
Posting to the social media platform, the model said that for the past 6 years she’s been hiding behind her lip pencil by ‘over-lining’ her lips to make them look as ‘normal as possible.’

‘6 years later here we are… Fully embracing it’ she said. She went on to state that despite this look not matching the ‘beauty standards’ people were taught, it is her and she doesn’t intend to conceal it any longer.
Zerafa has continuously been a voice for women and how social media impacts the need to look ‘perfect’ all the time on such platforms. Back in August she had opened about trolling and bullying she received, rising above it all to a well-received post.

The lip scar was sustained back in 2016, when she suffered face injuries after her Labrador accidentally hurt her while she was getting ready for a photoshoot. However, she has always embraced it as one of the things that make her Sarah Zerafa.
