President George Abela and his wife Margaret recently visited Bank of Valletta’s head office in St Venera, where piggy banks for the BoV L-Istrina Piggy Bank Campaign were being prepared for distribution in all primary and secondary schools.

Dr and Mrs Abela were greeted by BoV CEO Tonio Depasquale.

This is the seventh year BoV is teaming up with L-Istrina to encourage schoolchildren to donate some of their pocket money to the Malta Community Chest Fund.

Over the coming weeks, 5,000 piggy banks will be distributed in every primary and secondary school class in Malta, as well as selected retail outlets.

All funds collected through the campaign, together with a donation by BoV, will be presented during the live broadcast of L-Istrina on December 26.

The campaign helps to raise awareness among younger generations about the members of society most in need of help and support.
