how to 'ohloq tbissima'

Hello readers !


Have you ever heard about the ''OHLOQ TBISSIMA'' marathon? It is a 60 hour marathon aimed to raise funds to support the Missionary Society of Saint Paul (MSSP) with their missions in Peru, Pakistan and Philippines. These missionaries do not only give the money to these disadvantaged people, but they educate them and teach them how they can help themselves. 



The marathon takes place at St Joseph's Home at Santa Venera. For the whole 60 hours, there's a show going on, where you can entertain yourself, by watching it on TV, or better, going there and be a part of the numerous audience there is every year. There is also a bar where you can buy food and help these missions at the same time. There's also a Kid's Area where you can leave your children while enjoying the show. This year's marathon will include a full coverage of the President's and other 77 volunteers' missionary experience in Peru, and they will share their experience there, and you can see where the money gathered in the previous years has gone, and how they have been helping the less advantaged people in these countries. 



These missionaries help these countries by being there, but we can help also from here, with your donation by calling here:


51602004 - 10Euros
51702007 - 15Euros
51802009 - 25Euros

SMS - 50618099 - 4.66Euros


Us 'youths' can help as well, don't wait for your parents to call, we all have mobile phones, every little donation can make a difference in a kid's life out there. We all have money to buy drinks and food when we go out. (A meal from Bking or Mcdonalds costs more than a little donation from your mobile phones) We all love to buy clothes, and sometimes we also buy more than enough for ourselves. It's the sale season, how much money have you saved buy buying bargain things in sale? Think about it, and you will be surprised how knowing you've helped someone, will make you happy as well. 

This will be my fourth year volunteering in this marathon, and I can say that every year is more satisfying than the other. I help in the kids area, and sometimes do some face painting as well. I have made some good friends, and I love how everyone volunteering really has this marathon in his heart. Everyone gives the best they can. 



I couldn't not share this with you. This was the best way I could maybe help this good cause and maybe spread the word.

This time, OHLOQ TBISSIMA, and choose to help others shine :)
