A group of 25 youngsters experienced four days of voluntary work at Dar Arka, Għajnsielem, organised for the sixth consecutive year by Fr Charles Tabone, spiritual director of the Nazzareno Youth Group.

Their activities ranged from doing maintenance work, cleaning, servicing cars and work related to air-conditioning.

One major job was the whitewashing of all the rooms and corridors at Arka Respite Centre, which gave the home a welcome facelift.

Fr Tabone said all youths involved had a wonderful and unique experience, whereby they felt closer to God by helping the foundation, which cares for people with disabilities. They expressed their desire to return to Dar Arka soon and encouraged other youths to do similar voluntary work.

Arka Foundation director Fr Emanuel Curmi thanked the group for their sterling assistance, which saved the home thousands of euros.
