Mr Tonio Montesin ACII, Managing Director of Victoria Insurance Agency Ltd, presented the sponsorship to Dr Victor Calvagna, Chairman of Puttinu Cares – Children’s Cancer Support Group in the presence of Mr Edgar Galea. Presenting the sponsorship cheque, Mr Montesin said, “Victoria Insurance Agency is not just a provider of Insurance services in Malta. We are proud to associate ourselves with this cause as part of the social responsibility of our company”.
Dr Calvagna thanked the directors of Victoria Insurance Agency Ltd and encouraged other companies from the private sector to follow suit and support philanthropic causes such as Puttinu Cares – Children’s Cancer Support Group.
The group provides social and financial support to those families with children who have been struck by cancer. Apart from organising activities for them, it also provides financial support for those who need special treatment abroad.
The group works with the Paediatric Oncology Department at S.L.H (Wonderland) and has helped refurbish the ward, creating a home-from-home environment. It also supports medical and nursing staff development so as to ensure the highest quality of care is available.
