The Charity of the Month collection today is for Mary's Meals, which grew as the result of one man's vision and is now working in 14 countries across Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. Their aim is to give every hungry child one daily meal in school - attracting children into the classroom, giving them energy and the opportunity to learn, and the chance of a brighter future. Please give generously.
