Piggy banks are currently being distributed in all schools as well as selected retail outlets as part of the Bank of Valletta L-Istrina Piggy Bank Campaign.
A group of L-Istrina volunteers and BoV staff members are assisting the Armed Forces of Malta in ensuring that all schools receive a piggy bank for each class.
Girl Guides and L-Istrina volunteers have prepared over 5,000 piggy banks for distribution over a number of weeks. This will give 70,000 students the opportunity to participate and make a donation towards L-Istrina 2010.
The BoV Piggy Bank Campaign, now in its seventh edition, has become an integral part of L-Istrina. The total amount, together with a donation by BoV will be presented during the live TV broadcast of L-Istrina on December 26.
