The Bank of Valletta L-Istrina Campaign 2007 has entered into its second phase, with schools all over Malta and Gozo busy collecting funds from schoolchildren in aid of this charity event.

Over the past few days various celebrities have been visiting schools in order to encourage schoolchildren to continue making their donations.

The money collected will be added to the total funds collected for L-Istrina 2007. Funds are being collected in over 7,000 piggy banks, which have been distributed in all classrooms at all schools in Malta and Gozo. Some 65,000 children are participating in the collection this year.

Last year, the sum collected by schoolchildren amounted to Lm8,400, which, when added to the funds donated by Bank of Valletta, totalled Lm20,000.

Speaking about the collection, Michael Galea, head at the CEO office at Bank of Valletta said: "The response from schools has so far been very encouraging and we are again expecting a good amount to be collected".

The total amount collected by the BOV L-Istrina Campaign 2007 will be announced during the live TV programme L-Istrina 2007 on all main television stations on December 29.
