On Thursday , the 62 Backpacks that were donated to the school, began their journey to be delivered to children in schools in Malawi. A huge and heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated a backpack or items for a backpack and who helped to make this project a big success. Our photos show members of the Rights Respecting Schools group who helped with the project, passing the backpacks along the line to the Mary’s Meals van drivers, James and Cross who sorted the backpacks in those for boys and those for girls. That way Mary’s Meals can ensure the most suitable bags are given to a Malawian child to encourage them to attend school. This project and the work we have done at assemblies, has helped us to realise how lucky we are but also to know that there are ways we can make a difference to the lives of other children on another continent of the world. Special thank to Orla, Keira, Morgan and Zara from P7 whose idea it was to choose a Global Citizenship project which would help others in their final term as pupils at Gargieston Primary School. Thank you girls. We are so proud of you!!
