Was I surprised when speaking with one of Malta’s high-net-worth individuals, at one of the public listed companies’ annual general meetings a few months back, and learnt that he had gone on the Camino Trail in Spain to grant a wish expressed by his wife?

I have also read recently that our very own President of the Republic is planning on spending a short time doing missionary work. One also hears of a magistrate who followed a Bachelor of Theology course in his free time and another went to Africa with a group of lay volunteers.

Am I the only reader who wishes that more doses of such good news were reported in the media in order to balance a little the general doom and gloom often depicted?
