HSBC brings a smile to refugees

About 65 refugees, 40 of whom children, attended a party at the Good Shepherd Home in Balzan, organised by the HSBC Cares for Children Fund (HCCF), in co-ordination with the Emigrants' Commission.

"Seeing these children, and their parents, all smiles, fills your heart with joy," said Shaun Wallis, CEO of HSBC Malta.

"It is a privilege for HCCF to work with the Emigrants' Commission, which does sterling work in giving these people a chance to have a better life."

Since its setting up in 2000, HCCF has contributed over €1 million to assist children in need. The Emigrants' Commission runs 14 homes in seven different localities.
