President George Abela said everyone should appreciate the voluntary sector, where people give up their free time for the benefit of the common good.
He was speaking at a meeting with voluntary associations in Attard, where he and Mrs Abela are making an official visit. Dr Abela was accompanied by acting mayor Stefan Cordina, with mayor Norbert Pace convalescing in hospital.
He pointed out to those present that the public garden at San Anton Palace, official residence of the President, is a jewel for Attard which should be enjoyed by all. People should use the garden’s facilities and see in it an ideal recreational place for children, the elderly and families. Voluntary associations, he added, should work closely with the Malta Community Chest Fund because they have wide contacts with the public and can be instrumental in helping those in need approach the fund.
The official visit ends on Sunday when the President and Mrs Abela will hear morning Mass in the parish church and meet residents on the church parvis.
