The eighth edition of L-Istrina BoV Piggy Bank Campaign 2011 was recently launched in various schools with a visit to St Thomas primary school in Marsascala.
Over 5,000 piggy banks were distributed to all schools in Malta and Gozo. The campaign helps raise funds for those in need as well as raising awareness about the needs of others in the community among the younger generations.
Over the coming weeks, First Lady Margaret Abela, accompanied by BoV representatives, will be visiting a number of schools to encourage the collection of funds.
The final amount collected, together with a donation from BoV, will be presented during the live broadcast of L-Istrina on December 26.
