The subgroup LIFT Voluntary organises various activities in order to be of help to others. This time we opted to organise an activity to raise funds for charity and at the same time bring a smile upon the faces of those people less privileged. The activity, LIFT Car Wash, was organised in Qawra, at Ta Fra Ben. Number of young adults, some of them members of LIFT Voluntary themselves, gave their very best in these two days so that this event be a success. Consequently car owners were being asked to donate €5.00, but the renowned generous heart of us Maltese came forth once again when most of them gave more than requested. Furthermore, some of LIFT members were present along the promenade of Bugibba, collecting money from passers-by. This too helped us to pull together the lovely sum of €1000.
LIFT Car Wash demanded a lot of support and assistance from both the members of LIFT themselves and also from agencies which promptly offered their help. In fact we cannot but thank the company Ignazio Anastasi Ltd for providing us all the products necessary to wash cars such as the Zip Wax washing liquid of Turtle Wax brand, car chamois and sponges. A big thank you also goes to Farsons for freely lending us two big umbrellas and a chest freezer. A special thank you goes to the Local Council of St. Paul’s Bay which cooperated immensely so that this activity was positive. Besides, the site was also equipped with a sound system and a generator that certainly aided to create a bright and breezy atmosphere. For these two equipments a heartfelt thank you goes to two of LIFT members, Cedric and Louis, for every time we solicit help they are the first to come forward. Thanks to you all for your support!
This was the first endeavour put on by LIFT in order to raise funds for Puttinu Cares. It was a positive experience for us all and we take this opportunity to encourage other youth groups to organize such events for good causes. It definitely enriches the spirit.

Hello
I want to mention two points regarding the Carwash.
1) When you help others you can help yourself. In the Voluntary Team, when I help others I become so happy. This happened during the the Carwash organized by LIFT in aid of Puttinu Cares.
2) I think how fortunate I am. When I feel down I remember the children with terminal diseases in hospital, such as cancer. I count my blessings. My good things in life.
Regards
Pierre
Fil laqgha ta' 24 ta' Ottubru gie diskuss kif nistgha insiru komunita. Dan ikun pass kbir il-quddiem u nahseb li l-ewwel haga biex jirnexxi ikun li kulhadd jemmen fih li jistgha issir u jahdem biex issir

Dear all,
this event, the car wash, was one of the most enjoyable organisational experience. To help others gives you some much joy and satisfaction that compares to nothing else. Thanks to the LIFT Voluntary team, these occasions are increasing...keep it up.

I am so proud to be part of a voluntary group and to see that together we are doing such nice, good things to help out all people in one way or an other. Seeing the photo on the Sunday Times of Malta of us giving the cheque of Euro 1.000 from the car wash we had organized for Puttinu Cares gives me so much sadisfaction and pride to know that we made life a little bit better for those children who suffer from cancer. Thanks to all for all ur help. Keep it up guys! x x x
