Repaired
Carpe Diem has completed her
recent adventure! This time
the route took her not across an ocean: a Maltese Daniel Abela has rowed her "home" - from Sicily to Malta, - for charity.
The challenge, supported by the Vodafone Malta Foundation has been held to raise funds for the organisation and pay for a dream
holiday for terminally sick children and their parents, in an effort to
alleviate some of the hardships the families go through. Daniel started
from Sicily on June 19 and arrived
at Valletta Waterfront
on June 22 2008
