The Mission Fund Committee would like to thank the people of Malta and Gozo for the great generosity shown during the programme Xarabank that was screened on TVM last month. The total sum collected was €511,130. 

These funds will be utilized for carrying out projects that will ease some of the hardships endured by the people of Tanzania, as well as the purchase of medicines and hand-operated tricycles for patients suffering from polio. A special thanks goes to an anonymous benefactor who offered the sum of  €100,000 for the drilling of water wells. This sponsor has already sent the first €10,000 for this purpose.

The committee would also like to thank the Prime Minister, the Leader of the Opposition, the Archbishop, the Auxiliary Bishop, the Minister of Health and other distinguished personalities as well as all those who participated in this programme. Thanks also to all the staff of Xarabank who made this programme such a huge success.
