GO has made a presentation of €29,791 to the Community Chest Fund and renewed its support for l-Istrina.

The €29,791 were the charges waived by the company during last year’s edition of l-Istrina.

The company said it has also renewed its support towards the other events organised by the Malta Community Chest Fund including Rockestra and the President’s Fun Run.

For the first time this year the company also organised the GO Charity Fun Day – a marathon of activities for all the family in aid of l-Istrina.

GO has already installed a state-of-the art phone-in system in a hangar at Lufthansa Technik (Malta) for use during the phone-in donations as part of l-Istrina. The system includes 60 donation lines for €12 donations, 30 to receive €24 donations, a substantial amount of other exchange lines, hot lines, pledge lines, general lines with hunting lines, SMS donation lines and mobile connections, data connections for high-speed ADSL (WiFi /epos – business connect) as well as DTTV connections at various strategic points earmarked for use by the L-istrina teams.

Speaking about L-Istrina 2010, GO’s Chief Executive Officer, David Kay said: “This time of the year is very special for GO in that we take the chance to focus some of our efforts on meeting our important social responsibilities. Throughout the year GO supports a range of deserving events aimed at enhancing life standards for the less fortunate members of the local community. These events cover a wide spectrum of community experience l-Istrina being by far the major initiative we have invested in over the years.”

“We are indeed privileged to have the opportunity of working closely with PBS, Lufthansa Technik Malta, MCCF, l-Istrina organisers, and indeed everyone committed to the success of this year’s edition of l-Istrina. Our technical teams - as always - will be making every effort to secure the success of the fund-raising marathon.”
