Francesca Bianchi
I have good news, just spoken to Mr. Mario Gauci the head at Hal Far, he has very kindly reassured me that the kids play room is only being relocated and not taken off, the stuff has been put into storage until the ex-teaching room will be converted into a play room for the kids as they need the cabin for new residents (until yesterday it was still empty).....we are so glad to hear this news we will keep you updated we hope to have the new room up and running over the next couple of days! Fingers crossed!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[He&#039;s portrayed himself (or thinks he has) as Saint Joseph since the horrors of the Lapedusa tragedies, in the hope that people and the media have very short memories.

Doesn&#039;t the man realise that turning tragedy back on to us (himself) will only wash with the idiotic &#039;taghna lkoll&#039; xenophobes who helped put him into power? To the rest of us, he is just sickening to listen to. Oh excuse me, was I being &#039;negative&#039; and &#039;isolating&#039; myself with that remark?

When will he &#039;wake up and smell the coffee&#039; and realise he&#039;s actually the man in charge now, and no longer in opposition?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I have read on facebook that a group of women had set up a playroom at Hal Far filled with toys. This helped to put a smile on the faces of these children.

All the toys have been recently removed and placed in a store. The order was given by Minister Mallia. The room is now empty. So the toys were removed not because the room was needed for some other use but for no apparent reason. 

I obtained this information from a Facebook group: Help the Children at Hal Far. Unfortunately the group is a closed group so only members of the group can read the posts there. 

It seems people are being urged to write to Mallia and complain about this.]]></description>
