Mary’s Meal’s Longford are very grateful to the people of Longford that all helped raise a huge sum to feed them that need it across many countries. They held a walk in conjunction with a walk by a group of volunteers who were passing through Longford on the 11th of August, the volunteers were from Dublin and Derry, they were doing a sponsored walk, the Longford branch walked some of the way with them, after they spent a little time in Longford where they had a large gathering of people to welcome them on their long and arduous journey. Mary’s Meal’s if you have not heard about them yet, feed over two million school going children with a daily meal at the cost of 9cent. 93percent of 1 euro all goes to them that need it, yes 9cent per meal that can feed one child on a school day, and 18.30euro for one child per year, yes 18.30euro. In honour of the money raised, Mary’s Meal’s Longford thought it was a good idea that school children would be the ones to pass the monies raised to the representative from Irelands Mary’s Meal’s headquarters. St Josephs got that honour today the 8th of sept, Mary’s Meal’s represented by Longford and headquarters, also in attendance school children from said school, Father Michael and Joe Flaherty, thanks to Father Michael for the thoughtful prayer for Our Lady’s Birthday also.
