Feeding the thousands, from Celtic to Southampton

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

News that Southampton FC have nominated Mary’s Meals as their official international charity partner is a genuine great football story, and a significant landmark for the Scottish-based charity which now feeds over a millions children per day.

Mary’s Meals were in touch on Friday with news and photographs from the fourth school kitchen paid for by Celtic Quick News readers, in Chibwata, Malawi. Since the kitchen was built, school enrolment has increased by 34% to 1226 pupils. Each day over 4,000 pupils are fed in school kitchens built by CQN readers.

The school role has increased because of the availability of a daily meal, but as well as being better fed and healthier, hundreds of pupils are now getting an education who previously missed out.  Benefits are not limited to food today, there are lifetime benefits of getting a primary education, which will help the pupils and the nation as a whole for decades.

Those of you who have put the occasional £1 into Appeal alongside the Magners’ competitions we run, or who have put significantly more than this on occasion, should be enormously proud of what you’ve achieved.  It is a stunning testament to the Celtic support.  Thanks for all your help.

Celtic have done enormous work with Mary’s Meals in the past through the Foundation but let’s hope this break into English football opens up many more opportunities for the charity.

    “The underinvestment, the lack of vision, the failure to show any kind of ambition, the poor record in managerial appointments, the failure to communicate with the support, all of this can be said of the current board and only denied by those determined to avoid the facts. Celtic is a club that has managed to allow its only real competitor to gain a position of superiority at at time when that club is all but bankrupt and unable to sign a player for over 20 months. Normal incompetence doesn’t allow that to happen. It takes a really special, dedicated commitment to screwing up to achieve such a feat. Mowbray had to go, his Vision Thing had transformed into a nightmare and his goose was truly cooked after St Mirren, others though should also be walking out the door for past misdeeds and as they are a hindrance to any kind of meaningful change. Celtic needs a new direction. It needs people in change with ambition and genuine understanding of how to run a football club, as opposed to trying to run such an entity as just another business. The present custodians have shown no sign so far of being up to this challenge, they should make way for those who are.”
