Step by step feed the next child: Mary’s meals began feeding 200 children in Malawi in 2002 and is now feeding over 1,257,278 children every day in places of education. Our vision is that every hungry child receives a daily meal and that all who have more than they need, share with those who are in need. With our no frills policy, it costs €15.60 to feed a child for a year. To raise funds and awareness of Mary’s Meals, we are walking throughout Ireland. Walks are starting on 7th August from Malin, Derry, Armagh, Coalisland, Lurgan, Dublin, Kilkenny and Limerick and are all arriving in Knock on 15th August. Maybe you could get involved in Step by Step to Feed the Next Child. You are invited to visit our website www.sbsformarysmeals.ie of phone Fr. Eamonn Kelly 087 9077985.
