Dunblane Likhubula Partnership

Next time you are visiting the amazing Mary's Meals shop in Dunblane, have a look out for the Dunblane - Likhubula partnership poster (hint its near the back of the shop!) The partnership has been a dedicated supporter of Mary's Meals for years and this June, created a poster to celebrate the project's work in the Likhubula area of Malawi. If you are unsure of the work of Mary's Meals, please visit http://www.child31film.com. This film illustrates the amazing work done across the world by Mary's Meals and should be viewed by us all. #admin #marysmeals #friendship #photo

We would like to thank Bennetts the butchers for prominently displaying our poster in their Dunblane shop. Bennett's have been generous supporters of the Dunblane-Likhubula Partnership offering discounts for our bacon rolls at coffee mornings and raffle prizes. Their jute bags were prized possessions in Malawi and future visitors are sure to see these bags on their next trip. Thank you very much Bennetts!!!! #admin #friendship #photo

Over £200 was raised by pupils involved with the Malawi link at Dunblane High! The pupils, helped by others from the partnership steering committee, ran a successful table top sale selling brick-a-brack as well as all sorts of tasty treats! All money raised will go towards the schools Malawi projects. Well done to everyone involved, and thank you to everyone who supported them! #chambe #friendship #photo

Jenni had a chance on 11th February to meet with the Guild at Ludgate Church, Alloa to share some of our experiences from Malawi. Around 30 ladies gathered for the afternoon and they were a knowledgeable audience, being current supporters of Mary's Meals. They were thrilled to see pictures of Mary's Meals in practice, as well as learning something about the history, successes and challenges of the Dunblane Likhubula Partnership over the years since 2005. A generous donation from the group was gratefully received by Jenni on behalf of the Partnership. #friendship #marysmeals

Have I spoken to you about toilets? Ah, a hot topic with the Dunblane Likhubula Partnership this month! School toilets at that. The first picture is of current staff toilets at Nansato Primary - this is what well constructed pit latrines look like. The picture on the bottom left is of the girls’ toilets, where the roof and part of the walls collapsed. The picture on the bottom right is of the boys toilets at the school, where by summer 2013 the floor has caved onto the foundations. A few statistics: Nansato School has around 1,300 pupils. In 2006 when Dunblane first brought Mary’s Meals to the school, enrollment was 980. The community is clear that at a big part of the increase comes from pr
