8 maltatoday | WEDNESDAY • 18 DECEMBER 2024 NEWS MALTA Enterprise Chairman William Wait and CEO George Gregory presented a signifi- cant donation of €18,700 to the Children in Need Foundation, a charitable organisation which serves to support the education- al, physical, social, and mental needs of vulnerable children. The sum was collected from this year's successful CSR con- cert - Laudete Dominum – which Malta Enterprise have organised to mark the Corporation's 20th anniversary last October. The donation will go towards the setting up of a state of the art therapeutic space which will be equipped with child-friend- ly tools, sensory materials and comfortable furnishing, a vital necessity to help children feel at ease and safe but will also enhance their communication, play and emotional expression for the healing development of the children. Upon expressing his extreme gratitude for the donation, founder Daniel Abela said "We all want the very best for our children and this is the same philosophy we foster as a foun- dation. The facilities we are building are truly something special and Malta Enterprise's very generous donation will al- low us to finish them to the de- sired standard. Words will never be enough to show our gratitude and as a foundation we will re- main eternally grateful for your support." Malta Enterprise extended its gratitude to all artists, partners and employees who contributed to this success. A special thank you was reserved for its spon- sors Malta Tourism Authori- ty, KM Malta Airlines, Malta International Airport, Torrent Pharma, Trust Stamp, HSBC, V&C Group, Mediterranean Insurance Brokers (MIB), who believed in the project and sup- ported this very special cause. Malta Enterprise is committed to create CSR initiatives with the ultimate purpose of creating a positive change and contribute to the social good.
