Hello. I am really delighted to learn about your class work on Malawi and other parts of Africa. Although we have problems in this country, we are so lucky compared to those children who live in these African countries. They really want to go to school and learn, they have to worry about diseases that are very rare here in Scotland, and they need better houses and regular healthy food.
The people who live in Malawi feel a real bond of friendship with Scotland which goes back many years, and in recent years many more Scots have worked with the Malawians to help them develop a better future for themselves. Scots are in Malawi helping to train doctors and nurses, Scottish schools are helping schools in Malawi with money and equipment, and our governments are working closely together too.
I understand you may be raising money for Mary’s Meals. This Scottish Charity does a great job feeding very hungry children, and they can provide a lot of meals quite cheaply. That means that every pound you raise will help many children in Malawi, so please work very hard to raise as much as you can.
On my visits to Malawi, I have been struck by just how lovely the people are. History has left them with some real challenges, but together we can help them to a better future.
Best wishes, Jack

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on our P.6 Blog. It is good to know that you are so interested in Africa and the work of the children in our schools. We have all benefited from the Rich Task which has been undertaken by the children in South Park. We hope to have a very successful World Book Day run and organised by P.6, with the proceeds going to Mary’s Meals.
Thanks again.
