As part of its mission to support children with learning difficulties have a better education and quality of life, the HSBC Cares for Children Fund has sponsored the purchase of over 240 books for children attending Klabbsajf - an educational project which falls under the umbrella of Skolasajf.
Klabbsajf is the summer extension of the complementary education programme provided in schools to give children with learning difficulties extra help for a good education. There are 10 Klabbsajf centres in Malta and another three in Gozo to cater for some 150 children between the age of seven and eight.
In the past nine years, the HSBC Cares for Children Fund has donated over €14,000 to Klabbsajf.
During a presentation ceremony, also commemorating Skolasajf Animal Awareness Day, at the Birkirkara Skolasajf School, Mary Rose DeBono - service manager projects and initiatives within the Directorate for Educational Services, and Saviour Saliba, Skolasajf and Klabbsajf organiser, thanked HSBC for tangibly supporting the project by facilitating the purchase of the kind of books needed to help children develop good reading and writing skills in English and Maltese.
