Rotary Club Gozo recently presented a cheque for €1,200 to Dar Ġużeppa Debono in Għajnsielem, a refuge for single mothers founded in December 2005.

The money represents the proceeds of a special concert organised by young Gozitan composer Mariella Cassar.

Dar Ġużeppa Debono is one of several charities which Rotary is supporting this year.

Joe Grech, president of Rotary Club Gozo, said the club was pleased to support this home and hoped to continue to do so.

Mr Grech said one of the Rotarians, Arnold Buttenberg, a dentist who lives in Gozo, has offered his services free.

In appreciation of this gesture, Maria Attard, director of the home, presented Rotary Gozo and Mariella Cassar with special prints of a painting given to Dar Ġużeppa during an international seminar held in Gozo in 2003.
