The Vodafone Malta Foundation is once again supporting the EdenFest fundraising marathon with the donation of Lm10,000 (EUR23,293.73) and the participation of Vodafone employees.

The fourth EdenFest edition will be held on 30 September at Studio Seven, Birkirkara.

Vodafone Malta Foundation chairperson Gemma Mifsud Bonnici said the aim of the marathon is to raise enough funds for Eden Foundation to continue its work with children and adults to give them a better chance of living independent lives. Some Vodafone employees will be helping voluntarily on the day by answering calls for donations.

The Eden Foundation has launched a new appeal to raise the money to keep the foundation alive and open to continue giving its personalised education and therapy service to children and adults with learning disabilities. At present Eden Foundation is operating at a daily loss of Lm500 and is providing its service to 350 persons with learning disabilities.

Those wishing to make a donation to the Eden Foundation may send a text message on 5061-8925 for a donation of Lm3 (EUR6.98) and 5061-9206 for a donation of Lm5 (EUR11.6). Alternatively they may call on 5004-9495 for a donation of Lm5 (EUR11.6) or on 5004- 9490 for a donation of Lm10 (EUR23.3)
