After a
fruitful meeting between the Ghajnsielem Local Council and
the St Joseph Band Club Executive Committee, both parties
decided to form a so called 'Cultural Committee' which will
aim to improve the quality of life through cultural
activities and exhibitions throughout the year. The Cultural
Committee will be autonomous in its working and will be
responsible for the Ghajnsielem Cultural Calendar. Another
priority will be that of discovering the hidden talent that
our village offers.
During the
meeting, Mayor Francis Cauchi also said that the Council is
planning to revive an old tradition of organizing a day-trip
to Comino for all the Ghajnsilmizi on the occasion of the
Feast of the Sacred Heart (end of July). The day will be
packed with several activities including Band Marches, BBQs
and walking trips.
"The revival
of this old tradition together with the construction of the
annual life-like Christmas Crib in the main square are just
two small examples which this Cultural Committee can
organize" Francis Cauchi told Ghajnsielem.com
Every
organization (namely the Ghajnsielem Football Club, St
Joseph Band Club, the Parish, St Anthony's Community, L-Ghaqda
Armar, the Ghajnsielem Primary School and the Boy's Museum)
will appoint a member who will be part of this committee. It
will be chaired by Mayor Francis Cauchi
