What started off back in January as a six-month journey for prospective volunteers reached its climax on Thursday 1 July, when the annual send off activity for volunteers was held. This event, which was hosted by the Franciscan community at Dar Frate Jacoba, in Marsascala, brought together the SPYS.int team, this year's volunteers, and those closest to the volunteers, including parents and friends.

Car Wash in aid of YES

Posted on Thu 15th July, 2010

On the 19th June 2010, the volunteers working for the Youths Engage in Senglea (YES) Project organised a car wash at the GS Superstore in Naxxar. The objective of the car wash was to serve as a means of fund raising for the project. The volunteers managed to collect a good sum of around € 430. Avoiding the grueling heat outside with the carwash organised at the GS Carpark, the spirit and enthusiasm of the team was evident and made the event a successful one.

An Adventure Around the 3 Cities

Posted on Mon 21st June, 2010

On Sunday, eve of the Sette Giugno celebrations, the picturesque cities of Cospicua, Vittoriosa and Senglea were the set of the latest SPYS and Friends activity. This time we decided to go treasure hunting. Three teams started off the quest in different locations equipped with just a map and a set of questions. The hints led the participants to roam up and down the streets of the Cottonera, discovering monuments, Knight’s buildings, churches, and many other interesting facts about this part of Malta. It was more like a walk through time!
