De La Salle College donates books to help patients at Mater Dei Hospital

During 2019 the Lasallian Community around the world is celebrating the 300th years anniversary of Saint John Baptist De La Salle’s entry into eternal life. 

The emphasis of these celebrations are on Lasallian vocations and since De La Salle’s aim was the education of the poor and disadvantaged, the De La Salle College community in Malta thought of making a donation of 550 books to support patients at Mater Dei Hospital. The books will be used as a library on the move for patients.

Brother Martin Borg FSC, Director of De La Salle College, presented the books to Claudia Taylor East and Graziella Schiavone from SOS Malta to support the latter organisation’s VolServ volunteering programme at Mater Dei.
