Extract from Claudia Calleja’s article “Trust in Sven’s future” in Times of Malta 29/12/2008 

On Sven Mifsud’s fourth birthday, on Christmas Eve 2008, he received a gift that will boost his chances by helping him and his 26-year-old single mother Tracy to cope with rising expenses brought about by by the very rare condition he suffers from.

He was nominated as the beneficiary of the Rotaract Malta La Valette Charity Trust Fund that contains the initial sum of €10,000, donated by an anonymous foreign benefactor, and which fund will now be open to donations from the public.                             

Anyone interested in donating money to the trust fund can do so through any HSBC branch by asking for the account called Rotaract Malta La Valette Trust Fund. For direct transfers the HSBC Account number is 006-166490-050 (High Street Sliema Branch). Your generosity is welcome.

Big thanks to Nestle Malta, Peach & Sorrel and Carmelite Priory! With the Quiz Night organised in June 2011, we have raised the remaining funds necessary to purchase the much needed equipment for EPF!

We have raised over €3,000 for the following tools needed by EPF:

1. Mullen Scales of Early Learning - Measures intellectual ability and motor development during early childhood. This would help in the identification of diagnosis of strengths and difficulties of a child. It also assesses early intellectual development and readiness for school whilst providing the professionals and parents with information for the proper intervention required for the child to further develop. This would also allow the tutors to gain specific information on what the child needs to work on.
2. Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule - Allows diagnosis of autism or related disabilities across ages (toddlers to adults), developmental levels and language skills togethether with required intervention and services.                        

In May 2011, Rotary in Malta ran the 3rd in a series of Rotary Hands-On Days, on this occasion, at St Theresa’s Home in Zurrieq. The event proved to be a great success with 90 volunteers, mostly young, non-Rotarians, involved in undertaking a large number of jobs in the home.

With the number of volunteers having reached the maximum that could be handled on the Rotary Hands-On Day, two sub-teams were hived off and sent to other institutes. A team went to paint at the Ghabex Shelter for battered wives in Santa Venera, and a Rotaract Malta team went to paint at Dar il-Kaptan.
