The Minister for Education and Employment Evarist Bartolo and PN MEP Therese Comodini Cachia today made an engraving on a slab of clay at Ħamrun’s Primary in the presence of HSBC representatives.

The tiles will eventually form part of a mural which is being installed in the primary school’s entrance under the theme of "Ix-Xibka fil-Baħar ta’ Tagħlim" (Learning from a net of sea). The HSBC Water Programme – Catch the Drop was invited to be part of the wave-shaped mural, which upon completion will feature approximately 500 tiles, each symbolising the wisdom and legacy of its many different creators.

Some of the tilework will have water conservation themes in line with the HSBC Water Programme – Catch the Drop’s mission.

HSBC Corporate Sustainability Head Josef Camilleri and school principal David Caruana were also present.
