Our partnership with Lancashire West Methodist Circuit is coming to the end of its first year. This group of churches is supporting six MMF girls at St Mary’s Karonga which is in the North of Malawi. It was a pleasure to share stories and information with them in person after all this restricted time. Moira, MMF Trustee, gave a presentation which included videos from Mariot Dallas, as co-convenor, one from the Head Teacher of St Mary’s school and one from Mercy Sibande, our Malawian Manager. Mercy told the story of one of the girls supported by the Circuit in St Mary’s . She spoke eloquently about the impact of poverty on the education of girls and how important the support of the Circuit is to these girls.
This event was part of a celebration in Trinity Church Skelmersdale. The church has been refurbished and visitors admired the new doors, windows and audio -visual equipment. We provided an exhibition of photos of our work and people seemed to like them too. About 70 people attended throughout the day. Much tea was drunk. Much cake was eaten. A wonderful day all round.
Donations to the partnership funding come in various ways; donations are welcome through this fundraising page.
