Celebrating hope: One birthday bash and a kayak later
In a tale of birthday celebrations and adventures transcending the ordinary, Anthony Delia shares an inspiring narrative with SiGMA News. Beyond the traditional festivities marking his 52nd birthday, Delia and his family orchestrated an extraordinary surprise buffet party at the Malta Falconry Centre. However, this event was more than just a happy occasion; it was a beacon of hope for children of Colombia. Delia, in an exclusive conversation with SiGMA News, unfolds his journey celebrating hope – a journey that goes beyond the typical revelry to embrace a profound purpose: fundraising for the SiGMA Foundation.

Marking my 52nd Birthday was not just a birthday party but we were also celebrating the birth of hope for children in Colombia with Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate who will benefit from the SiGMA Foundation GLOW campaign. This surprise buffet party which was organised by my wife Claudette and family at the Malta Falconry Centre was another opportunity to collect donations where we managed to raise €700. Together with other events that we have organised, like football tournaments, we reached the €3500 milestone.
For my wife Claudette and I, The SiGMA Foundation is the light at the end of the tunnel for children in need. Anthony Delia
Anthony, setting off on his kayak adventure.
It’s like the Camino experience every day. The school of life is what makes our journey exciting. An example of this is my kayaking round Malta challenge. I’m no kayaker but the motivation and SiGMA Foundation made me push my limits, in a good way. And voila! my wife and I managed to collect €8500. Actually, it’s not my wife and I but all those who helped in donating.
Anthony Delia’s birthday celebration transcends the idea of doing something fun for a good cause, it is a testament to the transformative power of collective goodwill. Delia is weaving a narrative of compassion and commitment, proving that happy occasions, such as celebrating one’s birthday, can serve as a catalyst for positive change. In Delia’s words, “It’s not just my journey, but the journey of all those who helped in donating.” In this collaborative spirit, birthdays become more than a personal milestone; they become, in this case, an opportunity to nurture hope.
