Title: Minn ħolma Abstract: Dan l-artiklu jirrakkonta l-istorja tal-bini tal-plancier il-ġdid tal-Każin Banda San Nikola fis-Siġġiewi, li beda bħala ħolma fix-xitwa tal-1995 u bil-mod il-mod sar realtà grazzi għall-ħidma u d-dedikazzjoni ta’ ħafna voluntiera u benefatturi. L-awtur, flimkien mal-kumitat, ħa l-inizjattiva biex jitfassal disinn strutturali tal-azzar li fuqu nbena l-plancier, b’konsultazzjoni mad-disinjatur Salvu Bugeja. Ix-xogħol kien maqsum f’fażijiet differenti, inkluż il-bini tal-bażi tal-azzar, il-panewijiet artistiċi, il-guardrails tal-bronz u l-faċċata, u sar b’għajnuna ta’ diversi kumpaniji u persuni li ħafna drabi offrew is-servizzi tagħhom bla ħlas. Il-proġett kien jinvolvi spejjeż kbar u sfidi bħal nuqqas ta’ spazju u fondi, iżda minkejja dan, il-kummissjoni baqgħet taħdem b’perseveranza sabiex toħloq opra artistika li tixraq lill-pjazza tas-Siġġiewi. Fl-aħħar, l-istorja turi kif b’sagrifiċċju, għaqda u ġenerożità, ħolma setgħet tinbidel f’realtà konkreta għall-komunità.
