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.

Every year Rotaractors channel their energy and efforts into both a National and an International project. For the 2008/2009 Rotaract Year, the members have decided to work with the Deaf People's Association (Malta) (Għaqda Persuni Neqsin mis-Smigħ) as their National project.
The association hosts the only Deaf Club in Malta on a Friday evening where members can meet friends and converse in their preferred language - Maltese Sign Language (also known as Lingwa tas-Sinjali Maltija or LSM). There are approximately 400 deaf people in Malta it is estimated that around 120 people use Maltese Sign Language as their preferred language.
The aims of the project are to:
a) Raise funds for
* A stair-lift to make the Deaf Club accessible to those with mobility difficulties.
* Air conditioning units to cool the premises during the hot summer months
* Photocopying needs - UPDATE - An agreement has been entered with Avantech Ltd (Canon) who will be sponsoring the photocopying of the Deaf Association's Circulars and a photocopier has been donated by Shireburn
for their other photocopying needs
b) Raise awareness of the association, Maltese Sign Language and Deaf Culture across the Maltese Islands.
