Żejtun’s Carlo Diacono Middle and Secondary School has achieved a national milestone by creating the largest mechanised gingerbread village in the Maltese Islands. Presented by The Malta Records during the school’s open day, the impressive festive display measures 4 metres in length, 2.63 metres in width, and incorporates a remarkable 195 kilograms of dough.

This extraordinary project is the result of months of dedication by the school’s staff and volunteers, who began preparations during their summer holidays. Their commitment highlights the often-unseen efforts of educators who go above and beyond to foster creativity and community spirit.

Bjorn Formosa, a leading advocate for ALS awareness in Malta, has shared a poignant Christmas message that resonates deeply despite his voice being silenced by ALS. In a heartfelt video, Bjorn uses his eye-tracking device to pen a letter to Santa, reflecting on a challenging yet impactful year.

“Dear Santa, this year, I don’t want gifts. All I wish for is my voice. But this year, I’ve lost my ability to speak due to ALS,” he writes, setting the tone for an emotional journey through the highlights of 2024.

The video showcases Bjorn’s incredible achievements, including raising €1.5 million for ALS Malta, hosting a landmark concert in Gozo, and welcoming new residents to DAR Bjorn. Most notably, approval was granted to begin work on DAR Bjorn Respite, a facility designed to support families affected by ALS.

Santa’s response to Bjorn’s letter reads: “Your voice may be quiet, but your message speaks louder than ever. The love you’ve shared and the hope you’ve sparked—that’s what makes Christmas magical.”

Bjorn’s unwavering determination serves as a reminder that the season is about giving hope and support. He invites the public to join him in supporting ALS Malta, ensuring hope remains the greatest gift of all.

Dec 21 2024 Share

In a touching tribute to their son, Jake Vella, Maruska and Josie Vella have made a meaningful gesture this festive season. In memory of Jake, they placed a gift beneath the Christmas tree as part of the ‘Rigal b’Imħabba B’Differenza’ initiative. This initiative aims to ensure that vulnerable children across Malta experience the joy of Christmas, providing presents to those in need.

From December 12th to 19th, people across Malta were encouraged to contribute gifts by leaving them under designated trees. These gifts were then gathered and transported to Castille Square for distribution to children in time for Christmas.

“In Jake’s name, we’ve placed a gift to share the joy of Christmas with children in need,” Jake’s parents said, reflecting on their loss. “This is the first Christmas without you, dear one, but I am convinced that you are always with us.”
