One fateful day, Ġummienu manages to escape from his owner's home, embarking on a series of thrilling adventures.Jeremy Vassallo, CSR Manager at APS Bank, stated, "We are immensely pleased to have been able to distribute this colourful, entertaining book and hope that the children will be entertained by Ġummienu's adventures. It is gratifying to be able to support deserving causes such as this, and we gladly accepted the opportunity to do so."
