Haiti Cries

On Wednesday 10th January the Jesuits collaborated with the Salesians of Don Bosco to organise a fundraising event, to raise money for the Salesian Community in Haiti. Haiti Cries included a football tournament, in which several teams competed against each other, as well as a plant and book sale. Hair braiding and face painting were also organised. A drum circle livened up the atmosphere, with two professional players leading any volunteers to put together a tune. SPYS also prepared several fun games for the children present, but due to the bad weather, these could not be held. SPYS however had a football team that took part in the football tournament, disappointingly they got nowhere close to the final! The bishop of Gozo Mons. Mario Grech celebrated mass for all present. The Final amount collected until now is 175,000 euro. This collaboration was a succesful one and was all in the name of a good cause.
