About a year ago, Mr Paul Gatt, president of the National\nFoster Care Association Malta, contacted me and asked me if I would be\ninterested in writing a book, with the aim of explaining to Maltese children\nwhat fostering is and to promote its value. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I could not refuse! This was such a noble experience which I\ncould not ignore. Besides, after having translated a number of books from English\nto Maltese, I now felt a strong urge to publish my first original work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wrecked my brain and found inspiration from my own son. My\nbook targeted Year 4 students and my son was that age. Like other children, he\nhas a great love for animals. So I thought my story would revolve around\nanimals in a forest, particularly a little bear called Orsu, who ends up having\nto part from his beloved mother. What will happen to Orsu? Who will now take\ncare of him? Will he find peace and happiness? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orsu\u2019s story, \u201cXorti tajba g\u0127al Orsu\u201d is aimed at Year 4 students. Another two books were published with the same aim, namely \u201cIx-xewqa ta\u2019 Luke\u201d, written by Stephen Lughermo and Diane Farrugia, and \u201cIl-Komponiment tal-Malti\u201d, written by Sandra Vassallo Hili. The former targets year 5 students while the latter is ideal for Year 6 students. All proceeds will go in aid of NFCAM to help it in its invaluable work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All three books were cleverly illustrated by Mr Chris Cardona,\nour school librarian. He has done such an exceptional job in creating three\nvery different styles to make each story stand out. He had no easy feat in\nso-doing, but the end result is one to be proud of indeed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an experience that all of us in the team will\ntreasure forever as, besides the intrinsic value in this project, it has helped\nus foster new friendships and it has given us satisfaction which no sum of\nmoney can replace!\n\nI look forward towards helping out further in\nthese endeavours and towards publishing more original stories too!\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
