Mary’s Meal’s Generation Hope to premiere in Glasgow
First screening tomorrow of the charity’s documentary film drawing attention to what those who have benefited from its work have gone on to achieve
A new film about the impact of the work of the school feeding programme charity Mary’s Meals will have its world premiere in Glasgow tomorrow.
The documentary Generation Hope highlights the extraordinary difference that receiving a daily meal in school can make to children growing up in some of the world’s most impoverished communities.
The film focuses on what Mary’s Meals describes as Generation Hope—the group of young people who, having received the organisation’s daily meals in school, are now engaged in further education or paid employment. A large audience is expected at Andrew Stewart Cinema on University Avenue for the premiere. Organisers hope that following the premiere, local parishes, groups and supporters across the country will be encouraged to host their own screenings of the film to raise awareness of the impact of the charity’s work.
Mary’s Meals was founded in 2002 and is named after Our Lady. The Scottish charity began feeding 200 children in one school in Malawi. Today, it reaches more than 1.1 million children with daily meals in their place of education in 12 different countries around the world.
