sa国际传媒
Meet Zainab, from Malawi. She heard about Gordon Brown鈥檚 support for a new documentary about education charity and wanted to say thank you. We loved the photo so much that we wanted to say thank you right back!
Lots of children who benefit from the work of Mary鈥檚 Meals have been sending their thanks to famous supporters from Annie Lennox to Arun Gandhi. (Have a look at their to see some more great photos.)
Mary鈥檚 Meals, set up during the conflict in Bosnia in 1992, provides daily school meals to over 822,000 children around the world 鈥 from Zainab鈥檚 home of Malawi to South Sudan, Burma, Ecuador and beyond.
With a hot meal on offer in the canteen, children are more likely to attend school 鈥 and when they do, their grades are improved by eating a nutritious lunch every day.
Earlier this month, the charity released a film, Child 31, about its life-changing work. As Gordon Brown , the film shows how 鈥淢ary鈥檚 Meals is doing this amazing job in enabling children to go to school and get their education.鈥
With 57 million primary school-aged children not going to school, the simple but highly effective work of Mary鈥檚 Meals is a vital way of helping more children like Zainab into the classroom.
