The sum of €3,800 was raised in aid of Puttinu Cares from donations made by people visiting Arkadia commercial centre in Victoria on Easter Saturday. As a token of appreciation customers were given a slice of the traditional Easter sweet (figolla). The huge figolla, prepared by David Mercieca of David’s Bakery and his sons Manuel and Mark, took eight hours to bake. The activity was organised on the initiative of Puttinu Cares Gozo committee, in collaboration with Arkadia and David’s Bakery. Seen here are the chairman of the Puttinu Cares Gozo committee, Carmel Camilleri, second from right, and Arkadia foodstore general manager Franco Azzopardi (third from right) cutting the figolla, together with committee members and volunteers.
