Six days out and a mountain to climb

1664

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.”

    Stop blaming Ally

     

    He was put in the job with a back room staff inherited from Walter.

     

     

    He’s copied the tictacs and has an assistant whose cv is winning a reserve league.

     

     

    Keep Ally and bring in a decent back room.

    When are the players going to stand up?

     

     

    This is doing my fecking head in. The players should be hanging their heads in shame! That was shambolic today but the players seem to be getting away with it.

    Evening All,

     

     

    Well we are now into the run up to CQ10 and I would remind everyone going to the dinner and those who are not that we are trying to raise as much money as we can to help feed kids in Malawi through Mary’s Meals.

     

     

    Paul’s donation page is here https://mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/paulbrennan68 and if you can give something then great.

     

     

    However, I want as many as possible to do something different.

     

     

    Tomorrow I am going to start putting that link up on Twitter to see if we can start a really mass campaign for a week. If you are a member of the Twitterati and you see it please retweet it and pass the message on. If you work in a big office or factory or anywhere with a large workforce try and get as many as possible to throw in a pound or two.

     

     

    From small acorns grow ……… and all that.

     

     

    For blog members we are going to try and create a bit of a unique CQN spirit leading all the way up to CQ10 and hopefully beyond.

     

     

    There will be raffle prizes and auctions at CQ10 and from tomorrow we will put up a couple of special auction items for bidding by e-mail.

     

     

    CQN is a very special place — an online social club if you like — and we want to include as many in the CQ10 feelgood factor as possible.

     

     

    So look out for the auctions– all the proceeds will go to Malawi.

     

     

    Here is a sobering thought.

     

     

    If everyone who went to Seville donated £10 to our Kitchen appeal — we could feed 800,000 children for a year.

     

     

    Speaking of Seville — Seville- The Celtic Movement can be ordered as per the lead article.

     

     

    We want to try and send this book to the top of the book charts and create real movement in terms of people talking about Celtic and their fans.

     

     

    We want to try and recreate the publicity of 2003 reminding as many people as possible just what Celtic bring to a European Final.

     

     

    We are working on this with a number of partners, bookshops, podcasters, theatres, radio, the club and so on.

     

     

    In many respects this is a political statement or movement on our part, we are trying to bring the spirit of Celtic Football Club and its remarkable fans to the attention of everyone from the board, to the police, to Government, to UEFA and to the press and media.

     

     

    It will do no harm to highlight that Celtic fans do a hell of a lot of good in the world and that in another land, tens of thousands of singing Celtic fans were and still are seen as a cause for Celebration.

  16. them Asda assistants in Coatbridge are a real happy bunch of people…..smiling more than ever tonight…….none of they Samsung taps in sight…..come to think of it haven’t saw any for months……..

  17. The last self policing sport in the world,in my humble opinion,is golf.You can always gauge lots on a person’s character on the way they behave in 4 hours in your company,when you are trying to be competitive but sociable at the same time.Cheating is abhorrent at any level in golf,and many a status has been enhanced or destroyed in a four hour window of someone’s life.

     

     

    Quite strange how,in England,the Masonic cabal of Scottish and Northern Irish golf is always laughed at and viewed with suspicion,particularly when it comes to the handicapping system.

     

     

    Their world record achieving football team and it’s fans wouldn’t ever act this way I’m sure,ey?

     

     

    In their DNA maybe?

    I think Asda could do with more cramp avoidance training for their employees.

  22. Picked up the hunday mail …..splashed across the front was leading story on east Stirlingshire young footballer getting rough treatment from opposition fans…….commonly known as being racially abused…..who would have thought this rag would have caught up with the times………would seem the treatment A. McGeady got was just banter…..big business now this racial abuse stuff, depending on who you are.

  23. BRTH – building on your Seville theme from your post just there. Could we get some kind of collection going at the Celts in Seville at the Playhouse for Malawi….maybe pass the bucket(s) during the interval?
