Vodafone Malta's first chief executive officer Joe Grioli has been elected president of The Eden Foundation, the public-parent partnership that has successfully educated and supported hundreds of children with learning disabilities since it was founded by Josie Muscat 16 years ago.
Mr Grioli, a parent and long-time supporter and trustee of The Eden Foundation, follows in the footsteps of Bro. Martin Borg who stepped in for Dr Muscat two years ago. Under Bro. Martin, the foundation regained financial stability and managed to admit every child previously on its waiting lists. Bro. Martin resigned from his position as president earlier this month. The new president says he is determined to actuate the long-augured collaboration of The Eden Foundation with other entities in related spheres. As one of the promoters of recent developments, Mr Grioli has clarified that the project that the boards of Razzett tal-Ħbiberija and The Eden Foundation have resolved to undertake together is in the nature of a joint venture not a merger.
The two organisations will continue to exist and retain the powerful goodwill and respect they enjoy from the Maltese public, he said.
The over-arching objective of the proposed new joint organisation, which will manage and deliver both educational and therapeutic services, will be to the benefit of all individuals and their families who deserve the best that can be made available to them without differentiation on grounds of their means, Mr Grioli has pointed out.
