Inspire's 2010 calendar was recently launched by Kate Gonzi at Razzett tal-Ħbiberija, Marsascala.
The calendar features 12 paintings - the winners of a competition for children aged between six and 14, themed 'Your favourite cultural activity in Malta'.
The 12 winning paintings were by Alison Camilleri, Gabriel Bonanno, Matteus Zammit, Choomcherd Virapat, Sue Pace, Sasha Hamilton, Emanuela Quattrocchi, James Michael Aquilina, Matthew Cachia, Matthias Buttigieg, Emanuel Falzon and Jodie Bezzina.
During the launch, Ms Gonzi stressed the importance of the use of expressive arts as these help children develop the potential to gain a greater sense of self-identity, self-confidence, imagination and creativity.
All proceeds from the sale of the calendar will go toward Inspire.
Calendars will be available at €2.50 from Inspire or online at www.maltababyandkids.com.
