Christian Mintoff, 22, of Għasri, is off to Ethiopia in February for a month to undertake voluntary work with the missionary movement Ġesu fil-Proxxmu, founded by Fr George Grima.
Mr Mintoff recently raised €410 from a car wash (picture) which will go towards the building of a school in the diocese of Gambela. Helping him collect the funds were his family and friends.
