Maltese voluntary workers in Tunisia met by ambassador

A group of young Maltese carrying out voluntary work with 92 children in Tunis, animated a mass attended by Ambassador Vicki Ann Cremona and Kurt Vella Fonde from the Embassy of Malta in Tunis.

The group later spent a pleasant evening discussing their work with embassy officials at the ambassador's residence.

The Maltese volunteers are teaching children English and crafts. They have been going to Tunisia for three years and were now so popular that the number of children interested were more than they could cater for.

The Maltese group, made up of university students, civil servants and persons working in the private sector, are spending three weeks at La Goulette, which was formerly run exclusively by Maltese priests.

In fact, the church contains a mural painting of ‘Il-Madonna ta' Pinu' and a painting of Our Lady of Mellieħa.

The embassy staff will be assisting the group during their stay in Tunisia.
