President George Abela left Malta to embark on his missionary trip in Peru this afternoon, accompanied by a group of around 60 volunteers.

The President and his group will be carrying out missionary work in Arequipa. They will return to Malta on July 26.

Volunteers will build bathrooms and finish and furnish two child centres, among other works.

While Dr Abela is abroad, Anton Tabone is acting President.
