Congratulations from everyone at Project Gambia: People Feeding People to Holytown man, Harry Carlin. Harry was awarded the Benemerenti Medal from Bishop Joseph Toal this morning in recognition of his services to the Catholic Church and Christ the King RC Church, Holytown. So well deserved for a great man I hold in the highest esteem. An outstanding trade unionist and Labour Party member, Harry has spent his entire life fighting for others in so many different capacities and has been a great supporter of Project Gambia's school feeding programmes in Africa through his work with the Saint Vincent De Paul Society. Harry was my shop steward in Clydesdale Steel Works, Mossend and prevented a particularly nasty boss from sacking me in the 1980's. I probably would have deserved to be sacked on account of my big mouth thinking I was Mossend's answer to Arthur Scargill 😉 Anyway, they don't make men like Harry any more and more's the pity for that because we need them now more than ever.

If you are in any doubt that Project Gambia changes lives for the better please watch this short video. Head Teacher of Saint Anthony's Lower Basic School and Nursery School, Marie Ellen Jarjue, and the children at the school tell you just how much the free school dinners they receive from you mean to them. Not only that but the children tell you about the varied menus and options they are presented with thanks to you. What you do through your support of our school feeding programmes is no theoretical abstraction but solid, practical, nutritional, hunger removing, support for young people with little or nothing. Project Gambia: People Feeding People volunteers and supporters have contributed so much and have enabled thousands of children to complete their education. Education + Food = A route out of poverty for children in developing countries 🇬🇲

Project Gambia heads out to The Gambia today into a developing crisis of epic proportions on the back of the America/Israel war with Iran. In a society where farmers depend heavily on imported fertiliser and a huge share of household income goes on food, supply chain disruptions through the strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping lane not just for oil and gas but also for fertiliser, is beginning to have a massive impact on the price of foodstuffs and is intensifying cost of living pressures.

XN Iraki, a professor of business and economics at the University of Nairobi, said the impact of higher oil prices would be felt “acutely” in Africa because most people on the continent worked in the informal sector, where there was “uncertain income”.This crisis will be significantly worse in The Gambia which is the fifth poorest country in Africa. When Paul Lafferty attempts to conduct business with wholesalers and warehouses to purchase rice and other foodstuffs for Saint John's School for the Deaf, Serekunda, and Saint Anthony's Lower Basic School and Nursery School he will be confronted with significant price rises.

If you can help Project Gambia now there would never be a better time. In a society where hundreds of thousands are one meal away from hunger now is the time. Education + Food = A route out of poverty for children in developing countries
