Probably everyone knows or has heard of the story
of Ebenezer Scrooge, the old money lender whose story
has given us the exact meaning of a miser. YouthLinks,
a youth group from B’Kara are going to bring
this story alive on the 18th and 19th of December at
the St. Francis Hall in B’Kara.
 The story of Scrooge was written by Charles Dickens
in the famous book ‘A Christmas Carol’ and
it is about this old and crippled man that has money
as his only God! Scrooge was a money lender and he
fought vigorously for every penny he was due, no matter
how rich he was. On a Christmas Eve night the ghost
of his old colleague Jacob Marley paid him a little
visit to predict the arrival of three other Christmas
ghosts. These ghosts symbolized the past, present and
future of Scrooge’s Christmas. After a whole
night wondering with these ghosts Scrooge learned a
lesson from each of them and he became beautiful example
to all other humans!
 This story will be put to life by YouthLinks, a strong
50 member youth group from B’Kara, aged between
14 and 20. This group makes part of the Franciscan
community in B’Kara and has as his Spiritual
Director Fr. Arthur Cutajar OFM Conv. YouthLinks has
as its first priority the raising of youths into fruitful
Christians and people ready to tackle big challenges
from daily life. Meetings occur every Friday at the
St. Francis hall. The meetings are varied every time
by discussions and also various speakers from every
walk of life. Around the year YouthLinks also organize
activities such as Pasta nights, Cold Buffet and High
Teas. Often these activities are part of fund raising
towards several institutions that are in need of money!
Scrooge is the first kind of play that YouthLinks
are fully organizing and promise to be an entertaining
evening. A special night will be organized for kids
from different institutions around Malta and will be
free of charge .Tickets for the Scrooge are Lm 1.25
for adults and 75c for children under 10 years and
can be bought at the doors or else by calling the ticket
hotline 79300584.
