Lodged by Pam Duncan-Glancy Standard Motion 2 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Starfish Asia on its 25 years of support for primary schools in predominantly poor communities in Pakistan; acknowledges that Starfish Asia grew from a small network of partners and supporters across the UK; recognises its monthly support for around 50 schools, giving each the chance of providing a basic, daily education that otherwise might not be possible; acknowledges the provision of dedicated facilities for disabled and vulnerable young people, and thanks Devin Scobie for his work as he steps back after six years as its UK chair, as well as the contribution made by other board members and volunteers.
