The HSBC Cares For Children Fund (HCCF) has renewed its sponsorship of Caritas Malta's Focus Schools Project.

The new sponsorship was presented to Mgr Victor Grech, director of Caritas, by Catherine Gonzi, chairman of HCCF, in the presence of Archbishop Paul Cremona.

HCCF's relationship with Caritas goes back to 2001, when the bank sponsored the Caritas Malta website for school children - www.teenzone.org.mt In 2004, HCCF started supporting the schools project, donating a total of Lm20,000 throughout the years and a further Lm5,000 this year.

The project seeks to generate awareness of drugs among adolescents, provides assertiveness skills and promotes healthy lifestyles.

It also includes the youth-oriented Caritas Malta website, which hosts articles and features on daily life risks, life skills, voluntary work, social teachings, health issues and art. The site is also accessed at www.teenzone.org.mt
