Il-President ta’ Malta Dr George Vella akkumpanjat mis-Sinjura Vella, għamel l-ewwel żjara uffiċjali tiegħu fid-Dar tal-Providenza. F’diskors lir-residenti u ħaddiema qal li fid-Dar tal-Providenza jara miraklu ħaj li jiġġedded kuljum. Huwa żied jgħid li spiċċa ż-żmien meta persuna b’diżabilità kienet tiġi mwarrba jew ma tingħatax l-attenzjoni li ħaqqha. Din hija xi ħaġa li tirrifletti l-iżvilupp tas-soċjetà tagħna fejn il-persuni b’diżabilità jieħdu dak li hu tagħhom bi dritt u mhux b’karità.  Il-President qal li din hija xi ħaġa li verament tgħolli d-dinjità tal-bniedem għax kull bniedem, anke jekk għandu xi nuqqasijiet, huwa xbieha ta’ Alla u jistħoqqlu r-rispett ta’ kulħadd.  Dr Vella temm billi rringrazzja lill-ħaddiema u l-voluntiera kollha għad-dover u x-xogħol li qed jagħmlu f’isem is-soċjetà…

Għal diversi snin, is-sorijiet Agostinjani, li għandhom f’idejhom il-formazzjoni ta’ tant tfal u adolexxenti, ħassew il-bżonn ta’ post li jilqa’ lit-tfajliet li jkunu spiċċaw mill-iskejjel tagħhom. Post li t-tfajliet jistgħu jqisuh bħala tagħhom, iħossuhom komdi fih u jservi ta’ spazju fejn jibqgħu jirċievu formazzjoni wara s-snin tal-iskola.
