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.

Tomorrow. Our 2025 AGM. 1pm GMT; 3pm in Malawi

A Deaf Choir Festival? Who knew? Well, it was amazing.
Look out for the Scottish Deaf Choirs Festival 2026 in #Aberdeen

We were delighted to attend the Scotland Malawi Partnership AGM and Annual Gathering last Sat. Inspiring as always. Great presentations & discussions. Face2Face meeting, greeting and discussing was the best, as always.
@oneworldshop.bsky.social goods from #Kibebe were great! #Kilombero rice too.

Reporting on a wonderful visit to Lancashire. Reporting great fellowship and support of girls' education in Malawi. Reporting excellence on the cake front. Thanks to the Methodist Circuit there for their sustained support of 6 girls at secondary school.

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.

Poster about blueberry picking on 4th Oct 3-6pm

Diary note if #Perthshire #Scotland is within your radius. We are delighted to be part of this fundraising blueberry picking this year.
Sat 4th Oct 3-6pm is the @mamiemartin.org slot, though the fields are open to the public from now till the blueberries run out or are mushed by frost.

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

Weds next, 27th Aug: the final public opening of #HumbieDean garden in #EastLothian.

Part of @scotlandsgardens.bsky.social, this lovely woodland garden opening supports our girls' education work in Malawi.

Congrats to the Lancashire West Methodist Circuit who've supported 6 girls at school in Malawi. Those girls have completed their secondary education. The wonderful folk in Lancashire are starting a new 4-year support programme for another 6 girls. Wow!
Maybe your group or company could do similar?

Fancy being a Trustee with us? Make a real difference? We need new Trustees, whose governance role is vital. Specifically we'd be pleased to hear from you if you have skills/experience in IT, Marketing and/or Admin.
We are based in Scotland but meet and work online. UK address essential, sadly.
