Ghana. A different country in a different continent, with a different culture. Through SPYS, six youths spent last August with the Salesians in Ghana, where they carried out voluntary work with the children over there. On their return, it was decided to create a 2010 fundraising calendar, using photos taken by the group during their experience in Ghana.

Next date for HDS is on Saturday 9th January 2010. Hope to see you all again.

10am-1pm HDS Forms 1,2 and 3.

4pm-7.30pm- HDS Form 4,5 and 6.

A pageant started at 11.15pm. The pageant was organized by the HDS Form 1 and a group of those who participated in Boscofest also performed and danced to the song “seasons of love”. About 110 youth were involved in the animation.  The popular “priedka tat-tifel” this year was done by a Form 1 student, Juan Barbara. The Mass commenced at Midnight celebrated by Fr Joe Portelli.

A retreat was held for all animators and helpers involved in activities at Savio College. It was a good opportunity to refresh and reflect on our commitment as Salesian animators. 58 animators attended this retreat. Plans for the new year 2010 were made. Next retreat will be held on Good Friday.

Monday 14th December was a special day for SPYS. It was supposed to be the usual meeting for the SPYS team, but instead all those involved in working with SPYS were invited over for a special Christmas gathering. Around 34 young people actively involved on different task-groups gathered together for a special reflection entitled 'The True Meaning of Christmas'. Using videos, songs and stories a creative reflection was prepared for everyone to reflect and pray in the spirit of the real Christmas meaning.

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones! SPYS&Friends are back with our Annual Pasta Night to celebrate Christmas and the beginning of the new year together. Apart from the usual three types of pasta, wine and drinks, this year we will also have some live music from two different bands together with some other activities. We will kick-off our activity with mass so please make sure you're on time!

Also, we decided that this year, part of the money collected from this activity will go for a good cause.

Come! I'll be forever thankful that I have met you!
