In recent weeks hundreds of you have contributed to our Mary’s Meals project to build a school kitchen in Malawi for the 1221 pupils who are enrolled at the Kholoni Primary School in Mchinii, and then for the 746 pupils at St Joseph’s Primary in Kasungu.
The £7000 required for the first school reached Mary’s Meals some weeks ago and the building was opened and serving meals yesterday.
Here it is:
We have a lot to do today but there is an excellent chance that the £7000 required for St Joseph’s will be raised and in Mary’s Meals account before 470 of us sit down in the Kerrydale Suite for the CQteN St Patrick’s Day dinner tonight.
Here’s what you’ve done. You have funded two facilities which between them will feed 1967 children, all of whom live below the UN measure of absolute poverty, in the 17th poorest country in the world.
Most days, for almost all children, this will be their main meal, it will often be their only meal. As a result, they will attend school in greater numbers, 30% greater, if they are an average Mary’s Meals, Malawi, school. They will gain a better education and have better opportunities in life. They will build stronger bodies, more able to resist infection. Child mortality will fall.
The spirit of Brother Walfrid, of Celtic, is alive within you. You can get involved here.
See you at the party!
Seville, The Celtic Movement, launches tonight.
“CNN reported that on the day before the game 3% of the earth’s flying population were all headed for Seville and were sporting a Celtic scarf – a statistic that no sector of industry could ignore and which would change the policy of many airlines as a result.”

Livibhoy great to meet you and your better half At the end of the night.
I’m thinkng of going to the cinema tonight. I’m also thinking of buying one of those annual passes that mean I can go any week. Before I hand over my money though I want Cineworld to give me security over the building. I don’t think I’m being unreasonable, do you….

Utterly miserable again down here today. Good weather was very very short-lived.
Still to watch the game. Seems the young Bhoy, Henderson, has the makings of a good player. Good to hear.
Pcs
good to see him finally getting his chance, been shouting about him since watching him in pre season…
Well if we are not invited into the EPL very soon can I suggest we apply for membership of the Hyundai A League. Watching a game on the the telly just now and it seems that it is a league that it is competitive ,quality players,atmosphere,large crowds,ultras and we get to play our games early on a Saturday morning leaving the rest of the weekend free for golf boozing or bookies
Ps Any pyrotechnic shows in the Kerrydale bar last night (not looking for paralytic stories)
Great night last night at CQTen….
Good company good food…..and some faces to monikers especially our friend from Poland…..
I inadvertently lifted the wrong jacket too so part of today will be returning to rightful owner…if you spy this let me know…
