The much-awaited Gozo trip was once again a huge success amongst our patients.\u00a0 This year\u2019s 89 strong contingent was made up of patients, children and volunteers who flocked to Cirkewwa for an early start.\u00a0 We all set off with the 9:00 am ferry to Mgarr where we were greeted by 2 coaches and Chris F. Galea with his special purpose van accommodating 5 wheelchairs.\u00a0 Mass was celebrated by Rev. Mgr. Paul Vella at The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Ta\u2019 Pinu in Gharb.\u00a0 After a lovely service, the group headed down towards Marsalforn where they were treated to some cool refreshments before heading to The Calypso Hotel for lunch, whereas always a lavish buffet was served.\u00a0 Following lunch, the group enjoyed some free time where they could walk along the promenade and enjoy an ice-cream or a coffee.\u00a0 The coaches once again collected the group at 3:15 pm to take us back to Mgarr harbour in time to catch the 4:30 pm ferry back to Malta.\u00a0 The cost of this special outing was sponsored by CASUMO Services Ltd, without whose kind contribution would not be able to treat our dear patients to such a lovely day.\u00a0 Special thanks also goes to Chris F. Galea and the OMVG who assisted us throughout the day and to Dar Tal-Providenza who kindly assist us with another special-purpose van to accommodate more wheelchair-bound patients.<\/p>\n\n
