HSBC has donated two paintings from its private collection to the Malta Community Chest Fund. The paintings will be auctioned in December in aid of the annual fundraising L-Istrina.
The paintings – a watercolour depicting a fisherman, by Tonio Mallia, and a pen and ink guache depicting a Christmas scene, by Kenneth Zammit Tabona – were presented by HSBC Europe CEO Peter Boyles and Alan Richards CEO, HSBC Malta, who paid a courtesy visit to President George Abela at San Anton Palace, Attard.
HSBC has been supporting L-Istrina for over 10 years. Last year, the HSBC Malta Foundation was L-Istrina’s main sponsor, with a record direct donation amounting to €100,000.
