management of The Xara Collection, had the pleasure of organising the 6th edition of the dinner in aid of id-Dar tal-Providenza, held under the distinguished patronage of His Lordship Mgr Joseph Galea Curmi, Auxillary Bishop of Malta. All donations and proceeds collected throughout the evening went towards id-Dar tal-Providenza, who will use the funds for the renovation of the apartments at Villa Papa Giovanni in Siggiewi.
Throughout the evening, guests celebrated and enjoyed flavourful food prepared by the talented Xara Catering team, paired with fine wines from Farsons and Marsovin, live music by Louise EllulBonici Quinet, while donating to such a worthy cause. This year an outstanding amount of €51,530 was collected, contributing to the already existing tally and totalling the amount to the wonderful sum of €197,380, from its first edition in 2017.
