QRCODE
Fid-dinja tal-lum li qed tinbidel malajr, huwa faċli li ninjoraw l-għerf prezzjuż tal-anzjani tagħna. Madankollu, huma jippersonifikaw ir-rabtiet malgħeruq tagħna u għalhekk huwa importanti li niċċelebrawhom. Tabilħaqq huma jarrikkixxu kemm ħajjitna kif ukoll il-komunitajiet tagħna.
Il-ġenerazzjonijiet ikbar fl-età jġorru magħhom għexieren ta’ snin ta’ esperjenza tagħlimiet miksuba permezz ta’ tbatija, bidla, u perseveranza. Huma jippreservaw ukoll it-tradizzjonijiet tal-familja, il-valuri kulturali, u stejjer u rakkonti li jistgħu jintilfu. Mit-trobbija tal-familji sal-bini talkomunitajiet, l-anzjani għenu biex iffurmaw is-soċjetà li ngħixu fiha. Li nirrikonoxxuhom huwa mod kif ngħidulhom grazzi għax-xogħol iebes u s-sagrifiċċji tagħhom.
Matul ix-xahar ta’ Ottubru 2025, il-Ministeru għal Għawdex u l-Ippjanar se jkun qed jorganizza serje ta’ avvenimenti biex jiċċelebra l-anzjani f’Għawdex. Dawn l-avvenimenti se jinkludu attivitajiet interġenerazzjonali li jinvolvu tfal u żgħażagħ, social mornings b’taħditiet informattivi mmirati lejn l-anzjani, u quddiesa speċjali f’Ta’ Pinu li se tlaqqa’ flimkien residenti anzjani minn kull raħal f’Għawdex.
Barra minn hekk, il-Ministeru se jospita serje ta’ Open Days fid-djar residenzjali tiegħu, kif ukoll fix-xelters ta’ matul iljum u ta’ billejl. Waqt avveniment speċjali f’Villa Rundle, l-anzjani u l-familji tagħhom se jkollhom l-opportunità li jitgħallmu aktar dwar il-firxa wiesgħa ta’ servizzi offruti mill-Ministeru li jaqdu l-bżonnijiet diversi tal-anzjani.
Meta nonoraw lill-anzjani tagħna nkunu qed nonoraw l-għeruq tagħna u niżguraw li l-wirt tagħhom ikompli jsawwar futur aħjar għalina u għall-ġenerazzjonijiet li tilgħin. Inħeġġeġ lil kulħadd jattendi u jipparteċipa fiċċelebrazzjonijiet li se jiġu organizzati.
Clint Camilleri
Ministru għal Għawdex u l-Ippjanar
In today’s fast-moving world, it’s easy to overlook the quiet strength and wisdom of our elders. Yet they are the living links to our roots and celebrating them enriches both our lives and our communities.
Older generations carry decades of experience— lessons learned through hardship, change, and perseverance. They also preserve family traditions, cultural values, and stories that might otherwise be lost. From raising families to building communities, the elderly helped shape the society we live in. Recognising them is a way to say thank you for their hard work and sacrifices.
Throughout the month of October 2025, the Ministry for Gozo and Planning will be organising a series of events to celebrate the elderly in Gozo. These events will include intergenerational activities involving children and youth, social mornings featuring informative talks aimed at the elderly, and a special Mass at Ta’ Pinu, a meaningful place of worship, which will bring together elderly residents from every village in Gozo.
In addition, the Ministry will host a series of Open Days at its residential homes, as well as its night and day shelters. During a special event at Villa Rundle, elderly and their families will have the opportunity to learn more about the wide range of services offered by the Ministry that cater to the diverse needs of older adults.
By honouring our elderly, we are honouring our roots and ensuring that their legacy continues to shape a better future for us and for the generations to come. I encourage everyone to attend and participate in the celebrations that will be organised.
Clint Camilleri Minister for Gozo and Planning
