However, I did find this YouTube clip of the programme and have just watched and enjoyed it very much. You both, you and your father, did very well! The recording from which the video-clip is taken incorporates subtitles for the hard of hearing, which are a little out of synch with the words spoken, nevertheless it is really enjoyable to watch. Here's the link:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnxbUDT6Y44<br /><br />Well done for all your efforts. I have been reading your blog since it first went 'viral' a few months ago; I wrote to Argyll Council at the time, when they 'banned' you taking photographs of your school meals and am pleased to say they responded a little later when the public backlash (perhaps my own letter helped a little, too) forced them to back down and the rest, as they say, is history ;)<br /><br />You are an inspiration to a lot of people and it is wonderful that your blog has been instrumental in providing practical help for so many thousands of children whose life-chances are so much less than your own (or indeed my own many years ago). Congratulations and good luck for the future.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10393265755614039206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042538732461826230.post-79839049440691957032012-10-21T14:17:34.445+01:002012-10-21T14:17:34.445+01:00Saw the documentary and clip from the one show on ...Saw the documentary and clip from the one show on youtube today.

I come from South Africa, but live in Thailand working as a missionary near the border of Myanmar and Thailand. I have traveled to Malawi before and know the difference that every meal makes to the children there.<br /><br />Watching the documentary this morning reminded me that you really are never too young to make a difference. Never forget to find avenues to provide opportunities for others - I believe that you have a gift in your writing and ability to join together with other organizations that can help many in the future.<br /><br />Bronwyn Prommathat :)bronnileighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15159058815827847372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042538732461826230.post-21143798440643968512012-10-20T23:41:12.685+01:002012-10-20T23:41:12.685+01:00The documentary is finally up on Youtube!

It is really well-deserved. <br /><br />I also have found it very informative to read contributions from young people around the world and their school food.<br /><br />When Jamie Oliver ignited the debate about school dinners many years ago, I wrote about the system(s) in Spain and the letter got published. While the provision systems are many, the main concept is similar all over. You get a 3-course lunch; there is no choice (except vegetarian, or gluten-free, etc.)- you eat what is cooked, just like at home. Desserts are usually fresh fruit or yoghurt, sometimes cheese and the drink is tap water. <br />Parents get sent the monthly or yearly menu in advance, so you can plan your dinners not to clash with the school lunches. <br /><br />A link to the menus for this Sept. and Oct. in case you are interested. http://www.lauro.org/index.php?option=com_docman&task=cat_view&gid=324&Itemid=673pbviolinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01243603556410925183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042538732461826230.post-42071843016009797592012-10-19T03:34:31.527+01:002012-10-19T03:34:31.527+01:00Congratulations Martha for your appearance on the...Congratulations Martha for your appearance on the One show - you did really well!<br /><br />And congratulations for your award for the blog!

I've been following your blog since the early days; it motivated me to donate to Mary's Meals, and to begin donating regularly to my local food bank here in New York City. Thank you for all you've done to help so many people, and for sharing all this exciting travel and media news. What a treat to see you in Malawi and in the UK press. You totally deserve these positive experiences (and that awesome-sounding gift basket)!

Once again congratulations for making people aware that eating meals is not always just a matter of going down the road to your local shop.
