MasterChef winner Gary Maclean is teaming up with Dalmally-based charity Mary’s Meals to celebrate World Porridge Day on Wednesday October 10.
Mary’s Meals provides nutritious meals in school to more than 1.3 million impoverished children in 17 countries. For children receiving meals in Malawi, Zambia and Liberia, the simple bowl of likuni phala (vitamin-enriched porridge) attracts them to school and provides the nourishment and energy needed to focus on their education.
This October, the charity is inviting people across the UK to join its World Porridge Day celebrations by creating their own Porridge Smiles to share online and raise vital funds and awareness.
