A group from Vodafone Malta recently presented a cheque for €3,000 to Dar tal-Providenza in support of the Church home’s upcoming volleyball marathon.

The annual fundraising event will take place between June 28 and 30.

The money is part of a larger sum collected through the Vodafone Employee Contribution for Charity Scheme, where employees make a monthly donation directly from their salary.

Vodafone will further support the marathon by donating smartphones as raffle prizes.

Apart from raising funds that go towards the home’s operative work, the marathon also seeks to promote the values and benefits of voluntary work, sport and respect for people with disabilities.

Dar tal-Providenza director Fr Martin Micallef said: “It is so encouraging for us who live and work at Dar tal-Providenza to realise that what we do here with people who need our support is being acknowledged. Your support is extremely appreciated and will help us to continue living up to our mission.”
