The Order of Malta Volunteers in Gozo is the relief aid organization of the Sovereign\u00a0Military Order of Malta which focuses its activities on Gozo.<\/p>\n
Members of this charity organisation are mostly based in Gozo and they carry out hospitaller work\u00a0on behalf of the Order of Malta. The Order of Malta Volunteers in Gozo was formed by the Principal Chaplain Grand Cross Monsignor John Dimech over ten years ago with the aims of strengthening Christian values among people and\u00a0providing humanitarian assistance to those in need. Based on the charisma of the Order of Malta,\u00a0the Volunteers in Gozo provide spiritual, medical and social care.<\/p>\n
This commitment can be seen in religious pilgrimages organised by the Order to Lourdes, to Ta\u2019\u00a0Pinu Sanctuary and to religious feasts where the members of the Order of Malta Volunteers in Gozo\u00a0accompany patients, most of them in wheelchairs or using a walking-frame.<\/p>\n
The Volunteers in Gozo also provide a special ambulance transport service for wheelchair cases. This service which was inaugurated over four years ago with the help of Malteser Hamburg, is operated nearly every day. This service also\u00a0provides transport for patients in Church homes and public health facilities.<\/p>\n
Relief aid and assistance to missions in developing countries, including Kenya, Ghana, Pakistan,\u00a0Guatemala, Peru and Cuba, is also one of the major aims. For the past five years, the Order of Malta Volunteers in Gozo has sent\u00a0tons of items, especially medicine, food, educational material and clothing where they were most\u00a0needed.<\/p>\n
Moreover the Order of Malta Volunteers in Gozo provides good-quality clothes and blankets to the asylum seekers in Malta and\u00a0Gozo on a continuous basis, thanks to the support of various Knights of Malta and collaborators\u00a0who offered storage and logistics so that the supplies reach the people in need. A large amount of\u00a0clothing, medicine, stationery and toys are currently being sent to various missions in the above-mentioned countries. Over the years several volunteers from this organisation also went for hands-on experiences in Ethiopia and Albania.<\/p>\n
Every month a group of volunteers visits the elderly in one of the nursing homes in Gozo. Apart from\u00a0this, food and supplies are distributed to people in need. This activity also involves collaborating with\u00a0social workers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
