Congratulations to Mary’s Meals Founder Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow on His CNN Hero Award

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow, the founder of Dalmally-based Mary’s Meals, on being named as one of Cable News Network’s (CNN) 2010 Heroes; notes that he was the only British citizen in the final 10 to be awarded such an honour and that CNN considered over 10,000 nominations from more than 100 countries; notes that Mary’s Meals is a leading international charity that provides free meals to more than 400,000 children in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe; welcomes the fact that the £16,000 prize money from CNN will be spent on school feeding projects in Malawi where Mary’s Meals supports more than 12% of primary school children, and wishes Mr MacFarlane-Barrow and all those involved in Mary’s Meals continued success in what it considers to be their effective work in providing vital school feeding projects in communities where poverty and hunger prevent children from gaining an education.
