Mary's Meals Update
In May 2016, Clear Water Academy chose
Mary's Meals Canada
as our top designated charity, whose focus is to "feed every child a daily meal in their place of education."
Mary's Meals Canada specifically funds schools in Malawi, Africa, and the cost to feed a child a meal a day for a whole year is currently only $16. Most of us spend that amount in a visit to the movie theatre or to buy one pizza!
A summary of our events:
CWA has held 2 Mary's Meals Blue Day fundraisers, had a special visit from its founder, Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow, in September 2016, and hosted an evening event open to the public, held other student-led and classroom fundraisers, and shared our 1st Oatmeal Day most recently in October.
In total, Clear Water Academy has helped raise nearly $17,000 in less than 2 years - feeding over 1,000 children!
A very big THANK YOU to our students and school community for your support of
Mary's Meals Canada
. Together, we will continue to help promote the good works of Mary's Meals, and work towards setting-up the sponsorship of a school in Malawi for this amazing cause!
May God Bless you, everyone!
