Funds were raised in aid of the Malta Hospice Movement during a diving activity organized by BOV’s Sports and Social Club. A good number of BOV employees had the opportunity to dive into the clear blue sea at Cirkewwa. Not only did the event help to raise awareness to safeguard our seas but it also supported the Malta Hospice Movement.

Winnie Sammut, from the Club’s Diving Section, coordinated the event. She said that the diving event formed part of the calendar of activities for BOV employees and their families organized by the BOV Sports and Social Club. “Through these events, we seek to organize social activities outside the place of work. We have also taken the opportunity to raise funds to support a worthy social cause,” said Ms Sammut.

During the presentation of the sum collected, Malta Hospice Movement manager, Antoinette Shah, thanked George Portanier, president of BOV Sports and Social Club, and Winnie Sammut, for the initiative organized by the Club.

The event was carried out in collaboration with Calypso Sub Aqua Club who provided the instructors, as well as Dive Systems of Sliema who provided the equipment and air free of charge.
