Six days out and a mountain to climb

1664
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.”

    Why not the Citz@ as the Pav’ is way too expensive for ordinary folk. Some people need to get a grip and realise not everyone who supports Celtic are midddle class

    I seen a post on twitter the other night saying, when your dog loves and cuddles you, it exactly the same sentiment a human gives to their lover. Thought it was quite touching, especially with the photo. Can’t find the bleeding thing. :-))

    Eddie,

     

     

    The reason we have contacted the Pavillion is because that is where Tony Roper’s Celts in Seville is running for three weeks — nothing to do with the pricing policy of the individual theatres.

    All the last minute ticketing issues being sorted – everyone has accommodated and will be there, including one request I got this morning from a Celtic supporter who is going to give Rugby Park a miss so he can go to CQTEN as his big pal Tam is now going.

     

     

    We’ll sit Bertie at Tam’s table.

    Maybe you should do some research into who is actually attending these shows?

     

     

    If this show was actracting a working class audience it would be running for more than 3 weeks

    HaHa he cried; The last couple of hours on Zee blog

     

    has been most enjoyable. As much as Im aware of the issues

     

    raised at times on the blog and rightly so. Sometimes a little relief is good magic.

     

    It’s my first port of call for up to date news and long may it continue,

     

    I used to love fri nights ,a few beers, and an adventure in to fellow tims

     

    musical emotions, long may the good ship CQN rule.
