Ftuħ uffiċjali tas-sede tagħna 'Dar il-Presepju'

B'ferħ kbir inħabbru l-ftuħ uffiċjali tas-sede ewlenija tagħna, 'Dar il-Presepju', ġewwa l-Belt Valletta. Dan l-ispazju l-ġdid qed iservi bħala dar għall-artiġjanat tradizzjonali Malti, fejn il-membri u d-dilettanti kollha tal-presepju jistgħu jiltaqgħu, jitgħallmu u jaqsmu bejniethom tekniki u ħiliet ġodda.

Permezz ta' 'Dar il-Presepju', Għaqda Ħbieb tal-Presepju Malta tkompli ssaħħaħ il-ħidma tagħha biex tħares dan il-wirt tant għażiż, torganizza korsijiet u laqgħat prattiċi, u tressaq aktar ġenerazzjonijiet lejn din it-tradizzjoni unika tal-Milied.
