See last update: March 22, 2003 go to photos well worth getting: archaeology? G.A.M. Nature Trust   What's New? Our last update was in March !   This is certainly not because we have been idle all this time.   Good heavens, no... We have infact been very busy brewing our Comino chapter, which kicks off with 15 major pages filled with pictures and information from and about our baby sister; the lovely island of Kemmuna (Comino). To those who visit Comino virtually we wish enjoyment and increased awareness of our history and natural environment. To those who visit in person, on the other hand, we strongly caution against (wilfully or otherwise) disrupting the island's peace and general environment. Please respect this jewel and its people; Comino forms an important part of our national heritage. Click this image to enter our Comino chapter Note: Those who have sound on their PC (especially ADSL or cable subscribers) should be able to listen to our signature tune "Mhabba f'Kemmuna" once the main page loads.   However, you will need to increase your (audio) volume.   This song is being used here with the kind permission of its author. Another update was our page dedicated to the late Nicolai Cassar whose untimely death caused much grief to his friends and the community he was helping (in Bali). Those who knew Niki are encouraged to send in their contributions to his Tribute page. PREVIOUS Update: Walter Micallef; incl. lyrics to his first CD. And before that ?   Take a peek at our What's New ? page.   Site Feature Focus If you have been visiting the website regularly you will have noted that my-malta.com has continued with a special feature of bringing you large-format images of the Maltese Islands. These images are updated at irregular intervals and without warning. Have you been missing any of these photos?   Owing to their size, the photos would take longer than usual to download, depending on your connection and modem speed, but as our pages usually open in a new window you may return to our Homepage to continue exploring the website while your images load. click to enlarge photos Balluta Bay -- Sliema Borg in-Nadur, Birzebbuga Gozitan Tailor; Carm.Xuereb Easter Morning celebrations These are only a few of the photos you should have been seeing if you visited My-Malta-Home regularly. Make my-malta.com your Homepage so you will not miss any of these in future. We have been asked for a "Penpal" service and have come up with this new feature entitled "FRIENDS?".   Let's see you listing yourselves and, hopefully, making new friends! While you're at it, check out also the rest of these features to be found on our Homepage -- Our GuestMap, the Daily Cartoon and our ChatRoom (ideal for private conversations).   News, Opinions, Friendly Links Do you remember Marica (see picture) from our last site-update?     Marica, who works at the Melitensia section of the Central Public Library at Belt is-Sebh, got married to Anton Camilleri, a librarian from the National Library, Valletta, only last month. On behalf of the many students and researchers who frequent both libraries, my-malta.com wishes the couple a happy life together and a home full of reading material.

Friends of the National Archives Nature Trust Malta Din l-Art Helwa Wirt Ghawdex Ghar Mirdum Wirt Artna   Site Mission Statement This site does not sell anything!   It has no ties with or obligations towards any organization and, therefore, has no hidden agenda or ulterior motive. It's purpose is educational; aimed at helping those who wish to learn about what really makes the Maltese Islands what they are. We look at every known angle, taking no sides, exposing an objective (possibly uncomfortable) truth. Any recommendations given are based on our sincere opinions, and are not motivated by any material gains. The prime objective of this site is to promote the Maltese Islands, their history, culture and lifestyle.   In so doing, the rest of our objectives are also met.   The candid manner in which we describe ourselves may often constitute (national) auto-criticism, intended to expose wrongdoings in the hope that they be corrected by whoever has the faculty to right the wrongs; at times these being the authorities, at other times ourselves (today's and tomorrow's voting public) ! The protection of our Environment (in its broadest sense) is foremost among our priorities. And finally, it is another of our aims to unite all those who love the Maltese Islands, wherever these people may live, whatever their nationality, culture or creed, as long as they are people of Good Will.   Site Administration Webmaster:   Steve Farrugia, Gzira, Malta                         webmaster@my-malta.com Copyright:     belongs to Steve Farrugia /                       www.my-malta.com © 2002-3 Contributors:  As credited on individual                         articles.   Independent                         contributors retain the                         copyright of their works. my-Malta-home Towns & Villages Our Rich History That's Interesting !?
