Six days out and a mountain to climb

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

Over the last few days we have worked with Mary’s Meals to identify a second school without basic facilities in one of the most deprived areas of the world.  We have confirmed St Josephs’ Primary School in Kasungu, Malawi (the 17th poorest country in the world), which has a roll of 746 pupils and no facilities to provide food, meaning many children have to work to feed themselves instead of being educated.

The necessary permissions have been confirmed, and Mary’s Meals can send resources there as soon as money is available.  If we are successful, St Joseph’s will get a brick-built kitchen which will double as a classroom with stoves, pots, utensils, spoons and mugs.  As a result, kids will attend school to get what on many occasions will be their only meal of the day.  They will also get an education and better chances in later life.

The cost of the kitchen is £7000.  We are only six days out from CQteN so we shouldn’t expect miracles but we’ll be here until the job is done.

Construction is underway at our first school at the Kholoni Primary School in Mchinji, Malawi, which has a school roll of 1221 children.

We have a donations page for CQN Mary’s Meals’ projects, if you would like to help out, you can do so here.

Seville, The Celtic Movement, launches this month.

“There were 10 in our party and collecting the tickets took priority. Once we had them we could afford time to eat, but what? Several restaurants were sold out but we eventually found a café with frozen chips and a meat-based slab of something or other. No choices. No beer, wine or cola either, it was diluting orange juice or water. An entire city was pretty much emptied of food and drink.”

    after watching Nevin on Sportscene tonight i am in no doubt he is worse than any hun. The script was set up for him to have the last word on the ‘tie of the round’ and he was salivating over the huns progressing in the cup and clinching their league all in the same week. You couldn’t disguise the enthusiasm and pleasure he was taking in it.

     

    He is NOT a just a soup taker, he is 100% a hun. The BBC are controlling him like a glove puppet.

    Voguepunter went to see his doctor last week with a terrible rash all down one side.

     

     

     

    VP – “Whats wrong with me doc, is it serious?”

     

     

    Doc – “Hmmm………You’re going to have to stop the masturbation Mr Voguepunter.”

     

     

    VP – “Why’s that doc?”

     

     

    Doc – “Because I’m trying to examine you.”
