Lodged by Christine Grahame Standard Motion 21 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises the charitable efforts of the Parish of Innerleithen, Traquair and Walkerburn through its Thondwe Community Partnership; notes that this partnership has existed for 15 years, with the parish being twinned with the Church of Central African Presbyterian in Thondwe, Malawi, to foster a relationship between the congregations and provide funds for a range of projects in Malawi, including, it understands, cyclone damage repairs such as food to those impacted and the rebuilding of a bridge that 1,000 children use to get to school, installation of lighting in homes, livestock, washable kit for menstrual needs and school supplies; understands that links now also exist between local primary schools and health centres in the respective areas; believes that this partnership represents a good example of local charitable initiatives than can make a real difference, and congratulates all involved on their efforts.
