Mary’s Meals Charity is coping and covered all the projects in its care this past year. It currently feeds children in 18 different countries throughout the world. Despite the terrible earthquake which hit Syria, the children in Aleppo did not miss out on their meals due to the excellent organisation and cooperation of the teams on the ground. Lebanon is home to1.5 million Syrian refugees and is facing extreme vulnerability because of the global hunger crisis and ongoing conflict. Our school meals provide security to the children affected by the war and bring solace to families who are struggling to find enough food for them to eat. With the school feeding programmes, children are very happy. Their parents can’t provide food for them, so the programme is their only option to eat. The students can study and learn more when they eat at school. In Malawi, where the local support group sponsors a school, we require £10,000 to feed all the children for a year. An ideal place to let you all know of the Coffee Morning in Blairgowrie Town Hall on Saturday 17th June, a very enjoyable morning to socialise, enjoy coffee and cakes, and help to fill the hungry tums of our children. Malawi was also devastated by storms this year and Blantyre was virtually washed away. This was where our first 200 children were fed 20 years ago. Now we are feeding 1.4 million children every school day. It takes just £19.15 to feed a child for a year. Twenty years ago it was only £5. Yes the cost of living has gone up but our Coffee Morning will still be £3 at the door. Who likes a bargain? If you would like to join the support group or have at presentation talk at your club please contact Margaret morarcrafts@talktalk.net or telephone 01250 875086.

APPLES GALORE Changes Changes Changes Changes Changes! We have decided this year to change the way we collect local apples. What we are suggesting now is that you generous apple donors collect your own apples, in any kind of bag or box and bring them, preferably with a note noting who brought them and whether they are eaters or cookers, to no 10 Balmoral Road, where we can sort them into our lovely recyclable cotton bags, which we will leave for Jo Public at the Wellmeadow and at The Boat Brae as usual. We do get feedback from people about how delicious these local apples are. So, please, all you generous donors, if you can please make your own arrangements to deliver your apples to 10 Balmoral Road Rattray, any day, any time, and we can then cope with the distribution. If there are any problems, please contact one of the team. Please note in your diaries the provisional apple pressing dates of Saturday September 23rd and Saturday 7th October, to be confirmed in The Blairie nearer the time.
