Trick-or-Treat - Malta style

Pasta and Canned goods collected by young children for Trick-or-Treat
A practical and philanthropic idea has developed in Malta on how to make trick-or-treating more of a teaching lesson for children, rather than occasion to over-indulge on candy. The project was to invite children to go house to house in a specific neighborhood and collect canned goods and pasta, to be later donated to 6 local orphanages and organizations that take care of children. In just 6 hours, the young children collected 960 kilos (2116 lbs) of pasta and canned goods. This was actually three times the amount collected last year. This project was held in the town of Zejtun by the “Zejtun Organization to Empower You.” Maybe some American children can adopt this idea for the next Halloween.
