Mcast hairdressing and beauty students this morning used their new skills to pamper women who were victims of domestic violence or other social problems.

Social Solidarity Minister Marie-Louise Coleiro-Preca visited the salons where she was greeted with lots of hugs, kisses and tears of women she had crossed paths with before.

“You make me proud,” the outgoing minister told the people there, who included students, women experiencing problems and people who work within various voluntary organisations who support these women.

Ms Coleiro Preca, who will soon become President, was visibly emotional as she spoke to those she worked hard to support during her tenure as minister.

The activity was organised by Mcast’s Institute of Community Services in collaboration with the HSBC Foundation. The voluntary organisations involved were St Jeanne Antide Foundation, Dar Merħba Bik, Dar Qalb Ta’ Gesu, the Domestic Violence Unit within Appoġġ and the Prison Fellowship.
