Since the end of the Easter holidays, Martha has been writing a daily food blog about her school lunches, with

the support of her dad, as a self-initiated writing project. It also set out in the noble aim to fund the building of

kitchens for less fortunate children in Malawi, through theMary's Meals charity.

This morning in maths I got taken out of class by my head teacher and taken to her office. I was told that I could not take any more photos of my school

dinners because of a headline in a newspaper today.

“But unlike most ten-year-olds Martha has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to help feed children in Malawi, been the subject of a BBC documentary and been toasted by Scotland’s first Minster Alex Salmond

in the Great Hall of Edinburgh Castle.”

Martha shows every facet of great learning:

...real world change, making the environment around her better, sharing her thinking with the world, having a conscious for the world beyond

her immediate horizons...
