Mission Statement:
Ghajnsielem.com
was launched in July 2002 and aims to keep the emigrants
and local citizens up-to-date with what's happening in our
village. The website also offers a comprehensive list of
informative articles featuring everything you need to know
about the village of Ghajnsielem.
How
ghajnsielem.com was Born:
The idea of having a website dedicated solely to our village
started on March 2002 when Joseph Sultana, Kevin Cauchi and
Anthony Scicluna decided to launch Ghajnsielem.com.
Ghajnsielem.com was born three months later, on the 1st July
2002. The website virtually offers information, resources
and news coverage related with Ghajnsielem.
Ghajnsielem.com was proudly the first website in Gozo to
transmit an event live on the internet. In fact it was only
two months after its launch that Ghajnsielem.com transmitted
the Feast of Our Lady of Loreto live on the Internet. On
December 2002 Ghajnsielem.com had a record of three webcams
transmitting live video images from the Christmas Village
and the same number of webcams were available for 2004's
feast.
Another milestone was reached when Loreto Scicluna launched
the Ghajnsielem F.C. section with daily news update, video
replays, match report and a state-of-the-art database
highlighting the club's illustrious history. A few months
later, the St Joseph Band Club, the Local Council and the
Boys Museum Society also decided to host their website in
Ghajnsielem.com thus turning this website into a web-portal
or a one-stop site for everything associated with our
village. In fact, it is the only website in Malta and Gozo
that managed to keep all the organizations represented
together under “one roof”. In other words,
www.ghajnsielem.com is the only address that our emigrants
need to remember in mind!
Today, Ghajnsielem.com is more regarded as a web-portal than
a website. A portal is a website that is used as a starting
point or a gateway linking similar resources together. In
fact, Ghajnsielem.com is a one-stop site for everything you
need about Ghajnsielem.

The first presence of
Ghajnsielem on the Internet started back in 1999
when
Kevin Cauchi launched his own personal website dedicated
to Ghajnsielem
It was hosted on Gozo.com (http://www.gozo.com/ghajnsielem).
The site was closed two years later (2001).

The Ghajnsielem Parish's
presence on the Internet started in mid-2000
when Gozodirect offered to dedicated a section from its
Gozo Portal Website to Ghajnsielem. The site was
regularly updated by Joseph Sultana.
(http://www.gozodirect.com/parish/ghajnsielem/).
The site is still online although it was never updated
since Ghajnsielem.com was launched.

The first website logo. 'Ob fontem prosperitas' motto
was later dropped.
The new website slogan is
'One Village. One Website'
This slogan was inspired by Italo Cauchi on August 2007
