Join us at our annual Open Day!
Mary’s Meals will be holding its next Open Day in Scotland on Sunday, November 4, 2012. We hope you will be able to join us for this exciting annual event which will be held at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall. On the day, there will be a première screening of the new feature film showing the work of Mary’s Meals. Watch this space for more information on other events planned for the day!

Last year’s event was a sell out with around 900 people attending to hear a talk by Mary’s Meals founder Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow, and enjoy an afternoon of family entertainment, music and a range of interesting stalls.
Perhaps the stand-out moment from the Open Day for most people, though, was the impromptu speech given by 14-year-old Christina, a Malawian girl who has benefited greatly from Mary’s Meals.
Christina said: “The likuni phala is delicious! I am here to thank everyone who is involved with Mary’s Meals, because you have changed the lives of so many in Malawi. I am so grateful for everything you have done for me. The food helps me to concentrate and I am now receiving a better education.”
In April of this year, people from all walks of life attended Mary’s Meals’ first open day in England. It marked a 10 year celebration of Mary’s Meals.
