Ħaż-Żebbuġ Councillor Raises €2,000 For Ethiopian School In Honour Of His Cousin Becs
Steve Zammit Lupi, Ħaż-Żebbuġ independent councillor and cousin of the late Rebecca ‘Becs’ Zammit Lupi, has raised €2,066 in an effort to construct a school named after her in Ethiopia.
Zammit Lupi’s fundraising effort took the form of a birdwatching journey on New Year’s Day in which the councillor managed to spot 45 bird species.
“Thanks all for your warm generosity,” he said after raising €2,066 in just under a day.
The school effort, launched by Becs’ father, Darrin Zammit Lupi, a photojournalist and charity worker, is a trust set up in the wake of his daughter’s tragic passing last year and a means to honour her memory.
Well done Steve!
