More than €293,500 were raised during the 53-hour volleyball marathon in aid of Id-Dar tal-Providenza in Siġġiewi over the weekend. About 40 people took part in the marathon of non-stop volleyball that also involved over 300 volunteers.
The home’s director, Fr Martin Micallef, praised the generosity of the Maltese and said that through their solidarity they were making the goal of equality for the disabled more achievable.
He also thanked all those involved in the organisation of the event.
