The Stories Behind the BOV Volleyball Marathon: Meet George

/in , /by

George loves music, enjoys being around people, and although his communication is limited, he still tries to sing along whenever he hears one of his favourite songs.

His joy is infectious, and it’s one of the many things his mother treasures most about him.

But George’s story is also one of resilience, determination, and a mother’s unwavering love.

A Future That Nobody Could Predict

When George’s mother was seven months pregnant, doctors gave her devastating news.

They told her that her son would be born with cerebral palsy and warned that he would likely survive only a short time after birth.

George had other plans.

Nearly 30 years later, he continues to prove just how wrong those predictions were, bringing happiness to everyone who knows him.

Facing Life Together

When George was just seven years old, his father passed away.

From that moment on, his mother faced the responsibility of raising and caring for him on her own.

She remembers the loneliness that came with being a widow, especially during moments when difficult decisions had to be made.

Something as simple as signing a medical consent form before surgery became a reminder that she no longer had someone beside her to share the responsibility.

Yet she never stopped putting George first.

Planning Ahead Out of Love

As the years passed, George continued to require constant care and support.

His mother also began thinking about the future.

One question kept returning to her mind:

“What would happen if I became ill or had to go to hospital?”

Rather than waiting for a crisis, she made the courageous decision to help George move to Id-Dar tal-Providenza while she could still support him through the transition.

She wanted him to adapt gradually, surrounded by familiar faces and with the reassurance that she would always be close by.

A New Home, A Brighter Future

Her fears quickly disappeared.

George settled into life at Id-Dar tal-Providenza almost immediately.

Today, his mother believes the move transformed his life.

He enjoys a full routine, meaningful activities, friendships, and the care of a dedicated team who know him well and understand his needs.

With George now happily settled, she treasures every moment they spend together, knowing that when they meet, they can simply enjoy being mother and son.

A Mother’s Peace of Mind

For George’s mother, the greatest gift Id-Dar tal-Providenza has given her is reassurance.

She speaks with deep gratitude about the staff, describing them as people who care for George with kindness, patience, and genuine affection every single day.

Most importantly, she finds comfort in knowing that, when the day comes that she is no longer here, George will continue to be surrounded by people who will care for him as if he were one of their own.

For any parent, there is no greater peace of mind.

Helping Families Like George’s

George’s story is a powerful reminder that Id-Dar tal-Providenza provides so much more than care.

It offers security, friendship, dignity, and hope, for residents and for the families who love them.

This year’s BOV Volleyball Marathon takes place between Thursday 16th and Saturday 18th July at the MFCC in Ta’ Qali.

Every donation helps ensure that residents like George continue to live full and joyful lives, while giving parents the reassurance that their children will always have a place they can truly call home.

Because every parent hopes for the same thing—that their child will always be safe, happy, and loved.

The Stories Behind the BOV Volleyball Marathon: Meet Vanessa and Francesca

/in , /by

Every parent dreams of knowing their children will always be cared for.

For William, that hope became one of life’s biggest concerns and, ultimately, one of its greatest comforts.

William is the father of twin sisters Vanessa and Francesca, and in this moving story he reflects on the family’s journey from uncertainty to reassurance.

A Journey Into the Unknown

When Vanessa and Francesca were born, William and his wife were never told that their daughters had a disability.

As the twins grew older, however, they began noticing that the girls were struggling to communicate. Over time, it became clear that they would need specialised support and constant supervision.

Like countless parents in similar situations, they simply got on with what needed to be done.

Their daughters became the centre of family life.

The Challenges Behind Closed Doors

William speaks honestly about the reality of caring for Vanessa and Francesca.

There were sleepless nights, constant worry, and moments that tested the whole family. As the girls grew older, they also experienced periods of aggressive behaviour, making everyday life even more challenging.

Yet through it all, their parents remained devoted to giving them the very best life possible.

One question, however, never left William’s mind.

“Who will take care of them when we no longer can?”

It’s a question that many parents of persons with disabilities quietly carry with them every day.

A Home Where They Can Thrive

Today, Vanessa and Francesca live together in one of the residences operated by Id-Dar tal-Providenza.

Their parents continue to visit regularly, and although they are still a huge part of each other’s lives, something beautiful has happened.

The twins now see Id-Dar tal-Providenza as their home.

With the care, structure, and support they receive every day, the girls have flourished. William explains that even the aggressive behaviour they once experienced has improved significantly thanks to the patience, expertise, and consistency of the staff.

Although Vanessa and Francesca still cannot communicate through words, their parents don’t need words to know how they feel.

They see it in their smiles. They see it in their routines. They see it in the lives they now lead.

More Than Care

When William speaks about Id-Dar tal-Providenza, one word comes to mind.

“A blessing.”

For him and his family, the residence has provided far more than professional care.

It has given his daughters opportunities, stability, and a life filled with purpose.

And perhaps most importantly, it has surrounded them with people who care for them with genuine affection.

To William, the staff are far more than caregivers.

They have become a loving family for Vanessa and Francesca.

A Future Filled with Hope

Every family deserves the reassurance of knowing their loved ones are safe, valued, and happy.

For William, that reassurance has become a reality through Id-Dar tal-Providenza.

This year’s BOV Volleyball Marathon takes place between Thursday 16th and Saturday 18th July at the MFCC in Ta’ Qali.

By supporting the volleyball marathon, you’re helping residents like Vanessa and Francesca continue to enjoy lives filled with care, friendship, and opportunity while giving families something that cannot be measured:

The comfort of knowing their loved ones are exactly where they belong.

The Stories Behind the BOV Volleyball Marathon: Meet Charlene

/in , /by

When Charlene’s family are asked what Id-Dar tal-Providenza means to them, their answer comes without hesitation.

“Peace of mind.”

Those three words capture years of love, dedication, and the comfort of knowing that someone you care about is surrounded by people who treat her with kindness, dignity, and respect.

A Journey of Patience and Love

Charlene lives with epilepsy and has autistic traits.

When she was growing up, support services and specialised care were far more limited than they are today. Like many families at the time, her parents had to find their own way, adapting every aspect of life to meet Charlene’s needs.

One memory remains especially close to her mother’s heart.

She waited ten years to hear Charlene say one simple word.

“Ma.”

It was a moment she will never forget.

A single word that carried a lifetime of love.

Living, Not Just Existing

Today, Charlene lives at Dar Pirotta, one of the residences operated by Id-Dar tal-Providenza.

Her mother believes that one of the greatest strengths of the residence is that it allows residents to remain active members of the community rather than becoming isolated from it.

Charlene enjoys a full and varied lifestyle.

Her days include time at the day centre, outings with other residents, swimming sessions, music therapy, and a wide range of activities that keep her engaged, active, and connected with the world around her.

It’s not simply about receiving care. It’s about living life.

A Difficult Goodbye That Became the Right Decision

When Charlene moved into Id-Dar tal-Providenza, both of her parents found the transition emotional.

For so many years, their daily lives had revolved around caring for their daughter.

Suddenly, the family home felt very different.

Yet, as time passed, those feelings gave way to reassurance.

Charlene quickly settled into her new surroundings, built friendships, and embraced life at the residence.

Today, her mother smiles as she describes how happy Charlene is.

In her own words, she says Charlene is “treated like a queen.”

For any parent, there could be no greater comfort.

The Gift of Peace of Mind

Charlene’s story reminds us that support is about much more than providing accommodation.

It’s about creating opportunities, encouraging independence, and helping every resident live with dignity, purpose, and joy.

For her family, Id-Dar tal-Providenza has done exactly that.

It has given Charlene a place where she is loved, respected, and encouraged to enjoy every day to the fullest.

And it has given her parents something they value above all else:

Peace of mind.

This year’s BOV Volleyball Marathon takes place between Thursday 16th and Saturday 18th July at the MFCC in Ta’ Qali.

Every donation helps ensure that residents like Charlene continue to enjoy full, active lives while giving families the reassurance that their loved ones are receiving the very best care.

Because peace of mind is one of the greatest gifts a family can receive.

The Stories Behind the BOV Volleyball Marathon: Meet Christian

/in , /by

Every parent wants to know that their child will always be cared for, no matter what the future holds.

For Christian’s mother, that hope became a reality through Id-Dar tal-Providenza.

She recalls how, just a few months after Christian was born, she and her husband began to notice that he wasn’t developing in the same way as other children. Following a series of medical tests, Christian was diagnosed with a disability.

Like so many families, they adapted their lives around him, making sure he was always surrounded by love, support, and every opportunity to thrive.

Planning for the Future

As the years passed and Christian’s parents grew older, they began asking themselves a question that many families eventually face:

“Who will care for Christian in the years to come?”

Wanting to ensure he would always have the support he needed, they reached out to Id-Dar tal-Providenza to explore the possibility of him becoming a resident.

It was a significant decision, but one made entirely out of love.

Christian moved into the residence on Valentine’s Day, a date his mother will never forget.

Missing Him, But Knowing He’s Happy

Christian’s mother admits she still misses him every day.

Although she visits him regularly, the family home isn’t quite the same without him there.

Yet those feelings are outweighed by something even more important.

Peace of mind.

Seeing Christian happy, active, and surrounded by people who genuinely care for him reassures her that moving to Id-Dar tal-Providenza was the right decision.

She knows he isn’t simply living somewhere safe, he’s living somewhere he can enjoy life, make friends, and continue growing as a person.

A Place Filled with Care

When speaking about life at Id-Dar tal-Providenza, Christian’s mother can’t help but smile when the conversation turns to Fr Martin Micallef.

She speaks warmly about his enthusiasm and the positive energy he brings to the residence, describing him as someone whose passion is reflected throughout the home.

For her, that spirit is mirrored by the entire team, whose compassion and dedication help create an environment where residents are treated with dignity, kindness, and genuine affection every day.

A Future Built on Love

Christian’s story is one shared by many families.

It is a story of difficult decisions, unconditional love, and the comfort that comes from knowing a loved one is exactly where they need to be.

This year’s BOV Volleyball Marathon will take place between Thursday 16th and Saturday 18th July at the MFCC in Ta’ Qali.

Every donation helps Id-Dar tal-Providenza continue providing residents like Christian with more than just a place to live, it provides a home, opportunities to enjoy life, and the support to build a brighter future.

For Christian’s mother, there is no greater comfort than seeing her son smiling.

And in the end, that’s all any parent could ever wish for.

The Stories Behind the BOV Volleyball Marathon: Meet Tara

/in , /by

Sometimes, a name seems to capture a person’s spirit perfectly.

Tara’s mother smiles as she explains that the name Tara comes from Irish and means “Star of the Sea.” To her, there couldn’t be a more fitting name for her daughter.

It’s a name that reflects the light and warmth Tara brings to the people around her.

A Life That Changed Unexpectedly

Tara was born like any other healthy baby.

It was only as she began to grow that her parents realised something wasn’t quite right.

Doctors discovered that Tara needed surgery. She would eventually undergo three major operations, but following one of them, complications led to a coma. As a result, Tara suffered a brain injury that changed the course of her life forever.

Like so many families facing the unexpected, Tara’s parents focused on one thing above all else, making sure she had everything she needed.

The whole family came together to support her. Because Tara required so much care and attention, other relatives stepped in to help look after her older sister, ensuring the entire family remained strong during an incredibly difficult time.

Not Leaving Home… Finding Another One

Years later came another emotional decision.

When the time arrived for Tara to move to Id-Dar tal-Providenza, her family never saw it as saying goodbye.

Instead, they describe it as moving from one home to another.

That simple way of looking at it says everything about the trust they placed in the people who would become part of Tara’s everyday life.

Today, Tara truly sees Id-Dar tal-Providenza as her home.

In fact, whenever she spends a night with her mother, she often asks a question that brings a smile to her family’s faces:

“Am I going back to Siġġiewi?”

For her, returning to Id-Dar tal-Providenza isn’t leaving home.

It’s going home.

Love That Feels Like Family

One of the things Tara’s mother is most grateful for is the way the staff care for the residents.

She describes a level of compassion that goes far beyond professional responsibility.

The love, patience, and dedication shown every day are the kind of qualities people often associate with family, not with strangers.

Knowing that Tara is surrounded by people who genuinely care for her gives the entire family something that cannot be measured: complete peace of mind.

A Place Where Everyone Belongs

Tara’s story is a beautiful reminder that home isn’t simply a building.

It’s a place where you’re accepted, cared for, and loved.

For Tara, Id-Dar tal-Providenza has become exactly that, a home where she can continue to live with dignity, security, and happiness, surrounded by people who have become an extension of her own family.

This year’s BOV Volleyball Marathon takes place between Thursday 16th and Saturday 18th July at the MFCC in Ta’ Qali.

Every donation helps ensure that residents like Tara continue to receive not only exceptional care, but also something every person deserves—a place where they truly belong.

Because at Id-Dar tal-Providenza, care goes beyond meeting needs.

It creates a family.

The Stories Behind the BOV Volleyball Marathon: Meet Owen

/in , /by

Life has a way of coming full circle. For Owen’s family, that couldn’t be more true.

Growing up, they regularly supported Id-Dar tal-Providenza, never imagining that one day the organisation would become such an important part of their own lives.

Today, Owen is one of the many residents who proudly calls Id-Dar tal-Providenza home.

A Family That Never Stopped Caring

When Owen was born, his family learned that he had cerebral palsy.

As he grew up, everyday life came with its own challenges. His uncle remembers how Owen would often lose his balance and fall, yet he always faced life with determination and a smile.

Over the years, the family stood by him every step of the way.

Life took another difficult turn when Owen lost his father. Later, as his mother began living with dementia, the family once again found themselves adapting to changing circumstances.

Without hesitation, Owen’s uncle stepped in.

He cared for Owen as if he were his own son, describing him as someone who brought nothing but joy into his life.

A New Home That Quickly Felt Familiar

As time went on, Owen’s uncle knew he had to think about what would be best for his nephew in the years ahead.

That journey led them to Id-Dar tal-Providenza.

Like many families before them, there were understandable emotions surrounding the move. But those concerns quickly disappeared.

Owen settled into his new home almost immediately.

Seeing him so comfortable and happy reassured the entire family that they had made the right decision.

A Life Filled with Opportunity

Today, Owen enjoys a full and active life at Id-Dar tal-Providenza.

His days are filled with activities, outings, and social events that keep him engaged and connected with those around him.

He also benefits from specialised services, including pool therapy, which has helped improve his strength and overall wellbeing.

For his family, the greatest joy is seeing Owen continue to grow, enjoy new experiences, and live each day surrounded by people who genuinely care about him.

When Kindness Comes Full Circle

One reflection from Owen’s uncle is particularly moving.

He remembers how, throughout the years, their family always made donations to Id-Dar tal-Providenza.

At the time, they were simply supporting a cause they believed in.

They never imagined that, years later, their own family would directly benefit from the kindness and generosity of so many others.

It’s a powerful reminder that every act of generosity has the potential to change someone’s life, sometimes in ways we could never predict.

Helping More Families Like Owen’s

Owen’s story is one of love, resilience, and the incredible difference a caring community can make.

This year’s BOV Volleyball Marathon takes place between Thursday 16th and Saturday 18th July at the MFCC in Ta’ Qali.

By supporting the volleyball marathon, you’re helping residents like Owen continue to enjoy lives filled with opportunity, friendship, and dignity, while giving families the reassurance that their loved ones are exactly where they need to be.

Because sometimes, the kindness we give today becomes the support we need tomorrow.

The Stories Behind the BOV Volleyball Marathon: Meet Michelle

/in , /by

Every family reaches moments in life that are filled with emotion, uncertainty, and hope.

For Michelle’s family, one of those moments was watching her begin a new chapter at Id-Dar tal-Providenza.

Michelle’s story began before she was even born. Towards the end of her pregnancy, her mother contracted German measles, something that would later affect Michelle’s development.

As she grew older, her parents began noticing that she wasn’t reaching the same developmental milestones as other children. It was then that they realised Michelle would need additional support throughout her life.

Like so many families, they embraced that challenge with unconditional love.

A New Chapter, Not a Goodbye

In this touching video, Michelle’s younger brother reflects on the day she moved to Id-Dar tal-Providenza.

Rather than seeing it as losing a family member, he compares it to a daughter getting married and moving into her own home.

It was an emotional milestone, but also the beginning of an exciting new chapter.

That perspective says so much about the family’s love for Michelle. They weren’t saying goodbye, they were helping her take the next step in life.

Putting the Resident First

One memory has stayed with Michelle’s brother ever since.

During the initial meeting before Michelle moved into the residence, he noticed that almost every question was directed at Michelle herself.

The conversation wasn’t about the family. It was about her.

Her wishes, her personality, her routines, and what would make her feel comfortable.

That moment showed the family exactly how Id-Dar tal-Providenza approaches every resident: not simply as someone who needs care, but as an individual whose voice, choices, and dignity matter.

It immediately gave them confidence that Michelle would be treated with the respect she deserved.

More Than a Place to Live

Today, Michelle enjoys a life filled with opportunities, friendships, and experiences that help her continue to grow.

For her family, Id-Dar tal-Providenza has provided so much more than accommodation.

It has given Michelle a place where she feels valued, supported, and encouraged to enjoy life to the fullest.

Her brother speaks with immense gratitude on behalf of the entire family, not simply because Michelle has somewhere safe to live, but because she has been given the opportunity to build a rich, fulfilling life surrounded by people who genuinely care for her.

Helping More Families Like Michelle’s

Michelle’s story reminds us that true care is about far more than meeting someone’s basic needs.

It’s about helping people flourish.

It’s about creating opportunities, encouraging independence, and ensuring every person is treated with dignity and respect.

This year’s BOV Volleyball Marathon takes place between Thursday 16th and Saturday 18th July at the MFCC in Ta’ Qali.

By supporting the volleyball marathon, you’re helping ensure that residents like Michelle can continue enjoying not just a place to live, but a place where they can truly belong.

Because everyone deserves the opportunity to live a full and meaningful life.

The Stories Behind the BOV Volleyball Marathon: Meet Adrian

/in , /by

Every family wants the very best for the people they love.

For Adrian’s family, that meant making one of the hardest decisions they would ever face. One that, looking back today, they know was the right one.

In this heartfelt story, Adrian’s younger sisters reflect on a lifetime of memories and the close bond they have always shared with their brother.

From the very beginning, their mother made one thing clear: Adrian was never to be treated any differently from anyone else. He was simply their brother, an important part of the family, and someone who deserved every opportunity to enjoy life to the fullest.

An Unbreakable Bond

Adrian also shared an incredibly close relationship with his father.

The two were inseparable, and after his father’s passing, Adrian continued living with his mother, who remained his main source of support for many years.

Eventually, as his mother moved into a care home, the family once again found themselves facing difficult decisions about Adrian’s future.

He spent some time living with one of his sisters before the family made the decision for him to move to Id-Dar tal-Providenza.

It wasn’t an easy choice.

Like many families, they wanted to make absolutely sure they were doing what was best for someone they loved so deeply.

A Place That Quickly Felt Like Home

Any concerns they had began to disappear almost immediately.

From the moment Adrian arrived at Id-Dar tal-Providenza, he settled in with remarkable ease. He embraced his new surroundings, made new friends, and quickly began to feel at home.

Although he no longer lives under the same roof as his sisters, nothing has changed about their relationship. They continue to be there for one another, sharing the same love and support that has always brought them together as a family.

From Guilt to Gratitude

Adrian’s sisters openly admit that, despite seeing how well he settled into his new home, they initially struggled with feelings of guilt.

They even wondered whether their parents would have been upset by the decision they had made.

Today, however, they see things very differently.

Looking back, they believe that Id-Dar tal-Providenza gave Adrian exactly what he needed: an environment specifically designed to support him, encourage his independence, and allow him to enjoy a fulfilling life.

Above all, they speak with enormous appreciation for the staff, whose dedication, compassion, and genuine care have made all the difference.

Their commitment goes far beyond providing support; they create a place where residents feel valued, respected, and truly at home.

A Home Built on Care

Adrian’s story is one shared by many families.

Sometimes, the hardest decision becomes the one that brings the greatest peace of mind.

Knowing that a loved one is not only safe but genuinely happy is something every family hopes for, and for Adrian’s sisters, that is exactly what Id-Dar tal-Providenza has given them.

This year’s BOV Volleyball Marathon will take place between Thursday 16th and Saturday 18th July at the MFCC in Ta’ Qali.

Every donation made during the volleyball marathon helps ensure that residents like Adrian continue to receive the exceptional care, opportunities, and sense of belonging that make Id-Dar tal-Providenza so special.

Because sometimes, the greatest gift you can give a family isn’t just support—it’s the reassurance that their loved one is exactly where they belong.

 

 

 

 

The Stories Behind the BOV Volleyball Marathon: Meet Barbara

/in , /by

Every family hopes their loved ones will have the opportunity to live a happy, fulfilling life.

For Barbara’s family, that hope has become a reality through Id-Dar tal-Providenza.

Barbara has always had a wonderful imagination. Like many children, she grew up loving Disney princesses and animated characters, and to this day, her sister laughs as she recalls how Barbara still compares almost everyone she meets to one of her favourite characters.

It’s one of the many qualities that makes her so special.

A Sister’s Love

Because of the age difference between them, Barbara’s sister says she always felt as though she had a little sister to look after.

She remembers Barbara as a true blessing to their family; someone who brought joy, laughter, and unconditional love into their lives.

Barbara’s parents shared that same devotion.

Recognising her needs from an early age, her father, who worked as a teacher, made a remarkable decision. He changed jobs to work at the Guardian Angel School, allowing him to spend more time with Barbara and be actively involved in her daily life and development.

It was a decision made entirely out of love.

A New Beginning

Life changed unexpectedly when Barbara’s father suddenly passed away.

As her mother grew older, the family knew they needed to start planning for Barbara’s future.

Like so many families, it was an emotional decision.

When they first visited Id-Dar tal-Providenza, however, they were immediately struck by the warmth of the environment and the dedication of the staff. Seeing so many people committed to the wellbeing of the residents gave them confidence that Barbara would be surrounded by the care and support she deserved.

Living Life to the Fullest

Today, Barbara is thriving.

Since moving to Id-Dar tal-Providenza, her life has become even richer with opportunities to explore new interests, make friends, and enjoy experiences that bring her happiness.

She now plays in the residence’s band, attends Zumba classes, and takes part in a wide variety of activities that keep her active, engaged, and smiling.

For her family, the greatest comfort is knowing that Barbara isn’t simply safe.

She’s happy.

A Family That Keeps Growing

Barbara’s sister describes Id-Dar tal-Providenza as much more than a residence.

It has become Barbara’s family.

And while her own family continues to be by her side every step of the way, they now have the reassurance of knowing she is surrounded every day by people who genuinely care for her.

As her sister beautifully puts it, Id-Dar tal-Providenza has become Barbara’s family, while her natural family has become her second family.

It’s a powerful reminder that family isn’t only defined by where you come from, it can also be found in the people who care for you, encourage you, and help you live life to the fullest.

Help Us Continue Changing Lives

Stories like Barbara’s show the incredible difference that Id-Dar tal-Providenza makes, not only for its residents but also for the families who entrust their loved ones to its care.

The Stories Behind the BOV Volleyball Marathon: Meet John Paul

/in , /by

Every family’s journey is different, but they all have one thing in common: the hope that their loved one will always be safe, happy, and surrounded by people who care.

John Paul’s story is one that many families can relate to.

Just 48 hours after he was born, John Paul experienced complications that resulted in a lifelong disability. In this touching video, his brother reflects on the family’s journey and the unconditional love their parents showed throughout his life.

Like so many parents, they devoted themselves to caring for their son and never imagined a day when someone else would take on that responsibility.

A Difficult Decision

As the years passed and John Paul’s parents reached their late eighties, they knew they had to make plans for his future.

It wasn’t an easy decision.

The family still remembers the day John Paul moved into Id-Dar tal-Providenza. His brother recalls the emotion of that moment and one simple question that has stayed with him ever since.

“This is my home now?”

Those few words captured the uncertainty that comes with such a life-changing transition, for both John Paul and the people who love him.

A New Chapter Filled with Opportunity

Looking back today, the family sees that move in a very different light.

In fact, John Paul’s brother admits that had they known just how positive the experience would be, they would have made the decision much sooner.

Today, John Paul enjoys a full and active life at Id-Dar tal-Providenza.

His days are filled with activities, outings, events, and opportunities to learn, socialise, and enjoy new experiences. He now lives in an apartment alongside other residents, sharing everyday life much like a group of friends living together.

For his family, seeing him so happy, independent, and surrounded by a caring community has brought enormous comfort and peace of mind.

More Than a Residence

For John Paul’s brother, Id-Dar tal-Providenza is much more than a residential home.

It is a place that gives families reassurance, knowing that their loved ones are cared for with dignity, respect, and genuine affection every single day.

He believes there is simply no way to measure the impact the residence has on the lives of its residents and their families.

Help Us Continue Changing Lives

John Paul’s story is just one of many that show the lasting difference Id-Dar tal-Providenza makes every day.
