The motion

That the Parliament praises the ongoing charity work of the Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal; notes that members of the appeal will be presenting a cheque for £2,000 in Macedonia to the SOS Children's Village, which provides shelter, care and education for 84 children without parents or parental care; believes that the donation will be gratefully received by the village where the money will be used to cover medical expenses for 20 children who require regular medical therapy, the purchase of a washing machine for a SOS house, football lessons for 20 children, educational support for the children and solar panels for a SOS house to help make the village more sustainable; notes that, since first donating money in Lithuania in 2003, this represents the 47th consecutive donation made at a Scotland away match; praises the organisers and supporters of the Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal, and thanks them for what it sees as all their hard work, which it believes continues to help spread the good name of Scotland throughout the world with its generosity and goodwill.
