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.”

  3. Sevco will batter the wee Rovers in the replay methinks…..

     

     

    Also methinks Mr.McNamara will be rubbing his hands and laughing at how easy the semi final draw has worked out for his Arabs.

     

     

    Fantastic betting opportunities await in this semi final.

     

     

    Dundee United will humiliate Fat Sally’s troops……..AGAIN.

     

     

    Deadclub or Sevco…..same ending!!

    Saw an article in yesterday’s herald. A widow is going to sell her late husband’s football memorabilia. Most of it relates to a now liquidated club, with the stuff going back over 50 years. The widow is a Mrs Banks.

     

     

    Her late husband’s name was ………. Wait for it………

     

     

    Robin Banks

     

     

    Great name for a sevconian. Named for his club.

    My old dug lasted 17 years before she hit the dust, that was two years ago and just got a new one from Edinburgh Cat & Dog home. That’s been five weeks now and the transformation in him is unreal, very relaxed now. Although in week one he did manage to eat £300 worth of blindsin my conservatory…….

     

     

    He keeps looking at me and says “wiz you not insured?!”

    Time we had some Buddhist monks reffing here. Maybe we would see more guys in hoops tops hitting pens than we do with the present mob in charge.

    Don’t know if anyone’s previously mentioned but just watched ” Beware the Vatersay boys” from BBC Alba last night. It’s also on iPlayer, get it watched….good lads who went to Seville on a coach from Vatersay….

  12. garygillespieshamstring on

    Did sevco play for a draw today because they could do with the cash from a huge crowd at the replay? Might just be the difference between liquidation and making it to the end of the season.

  13. Drambowie

     

     

    I admire anyone who has the patience and commitment to look after a few dogs at one time

     

     

    I find bhonnie a handful on her own!

     

     

    Fair play to you

     

     

    HH!

  14. The result is all part of the financial plan.

     

     

    A replay = More funds

     

     

    And they saved on the win bonus.

     

     

    I think not.

     

     

    Zombie admin soon – please.

    The ref bottled it. Yet another example of Hun intimidation and fear working for them. Never a goal.

     

    As much as I’ve always known they are one rotten to the core, poisonous establishment, my god the last two years have blown me away as to how low McCoist FC have stooped.

     

    Needing to cheat a team full of guys on 50 quid expenses a week?

    Bhoylo,

     

    Dogs? Greatest in the world.

     

    They’ll give you all the love you want and will always be there for you.

     

    I got a wee Norfolk Terrier for 26 quid from the local pound and if somebody offered me a million for him I wouldn’t entertain it.

    That was exactly what I said to Miss Prestonpans, fear, pure and simple. That ref did not want the hassle it would bring to him and his family.

    There are benefits of not having blinds in the conservatory, you witness a full moon, the stars in the sky. Draw backs you notice when the folks around you go to the bog……………
