A great loss to Malawi and Scotland - yesterday, this amazing man, Alan Laverock, passed away peacefully after a fall.
He will be greatly missed. We all remember him with gratitude.

Great #AGM today though we missed our core tech team member from @weespokehub.bsky.social
See our YouTube channel for keynote speech and report from Malawi.
We have 27+ attendees on a Saturday - RESULT!
Thanks, hugely, to the tech team - a Zoom AGM takes a lot of work & prep - mostly unseen.

Yes, we get around. Team MMF bravely crossed the border into England, are in lovely Lancashire to meet the wonderful people who have supported 6 girls thru Sec School in Malawi. A second 4-year project is being launched - so another 6 girls will be educated through this group's generosity & love.

On International Literacy Day, we remember how vital #literacy is in the world. It's in #SDG4. It is the issue which inspired Mamie Martin back in the 1920s. New post on our website about the impact of our work in #Malawi
