Community Week at BoV branches

Bank of Valletta's branches in Gozo organised a Community Week during which the bank put together a varied programme of events focusing on the Gozitan community.

The events were linked to the seven pillars of BoV's Community Programme giving prominence, among others, to Gozo's heritage and culture, education, the environment and the social aspect.

Tonio Depasquale, the bank's chief executive officer, paid a visit to BoV's main branch as well as the BoV Investments Shop in Victoria.

Together with Jack Thewma, BoV's executive head in Gozo, Mr Depasquale was shown around an exhibition of stone sculptures at the BoV branch by Gozitan artist Joe Xuereb.

Godwin Cutajar, who has been entrusted with the ongoing restoration project, financed by BoV, of the Emvin Cremona paintings at Ta' Pinu Sanctuary, was also present. He explained, through a photographic display set up at the branch, the various stages of the restoration project. Mr Depasquale also had the opportunity to meet Fr Manuel Curmi, director of the Arka Foundation, who visited the branch on the occasion of Community Week. A display focusing on the services offered by the Arka Foundation was also set up.

During his visit, Mr Depasquale met all the staff at the Victoria branch and at the BoV Investments Shop and congratulated them on their success during the community week.
