A staggering 1,100 Christmas logs incorporating more than two tonnes of ingredients and 12,000 mince pies having one tonne of ingredients have been prepared for charity by students, lecturers and staff at the Institute of Tourism Studies.
More than 200 students and five prisoners from the Young Offenders Unit Rehabilitation Scheme led by ITS lecturers, worked voluntarily for the past four weeks to prepare a feast of traditional Maltese Christmas food at the Valletta Presidential Palace courtyard on Saturday.
They are also preparing stuffed turkeys, mulled wine, cocktails, mocktails, roasted chestnuts and other foods which the public will be able to buy. All proceeds will be donated to l-Istrina.
All ingredients were donated free of charge.
The 12-hour activity starts at 10 a.m.
