The Ghajnsielem Local Council together with the main organizations this evening laid out the plan and discussed several proposals about an exiting project which is being planned for this Christmas... 'Ghajnsielem in Bethlehem'.

The whole 'Ta Passi' area will literally be transformed into a 'live crib' and will offer a naturalistic reproduction of the environ of Bethlehem. The works will be managed and overseen by Franco Ciangura. The organizations present for the first meeting were the St Joseph Band Club, Ghajnsielem F.C., the Franciscan youths community and Ghaqda Drammatika Ghajnsielem.

A large tent will also be erected in the parking area adjacent the St Joseph Band Club premises. The tent will host several cultural activities during the evenings while the participating organizations will have their own stand selling traditional Christmas food and products. The Ghajnsielem Primary school is also expected to take a leading part in the activities. The aim is to open the live crib on the 10th of December and spread the activities on 3 weeks.

All those who wish to volunteer in this exciting project are invited to attend a meeting next Monday 6th October 7.00pm at the St Joseph Band Club Hall.

'Bethlehem in Ghajnsielem' promises to be one of the main attractions in Malta and Gozo this Christmas.
