Ramona Matthews longed to hear her son Nico call her mummy after he once uttered the word when he was seven.
But it was only several months later, when the Malta Trust Foundation gave him an electronic device to support his learning, that Nico said the word “mummy” again.
“And he hasn’t stopped saying it since,” his mother said on the eve of Mother’s Day. In the background, Nico, who had just returned from school, pointed at framed photos of relatives, adding “nannu, nanna…”
The augmentative communication tablet has opened a whole new vocabulary for Nico. Mummy : Nico is managing to communicate.

The pope has sent a letter to President Emeritus Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca expressing his support and blessings for Saturday’s fundraising marathon to buy tailor-made electronic devices for children who are visually-impaired or on the autism spectrum.
In his letter, the Pope assured he would be praying for the Malta Trust Foundation’s “praiseworthy initiative” to empower these children and guide them through their education with the help of specialised devices.
Coleiro Preca, who chairs the Malta Trust Foundation, had written to Pope Francis asking him for his prayers ahead of the telethon
Għat-Tfal Kollha… Kollha.
The pope wrote back saying: “Conscious of the pressing spiritual, social, and economic challenges and inequalities faced especially by the young and most vulnerable during this time of the pandemic, I send you prayerful good wishes for this praiseworthy initiative.”
