Online fundraising as part of the Light Comes With Music charity concert
The October charity concert Light Comes With Music took place in Brussels in support of Mary's Meals.
The concert featured many Czech and Slovak musicians living in Belgium, accompanied by a video production by painter Denisa Olexa Bohdalíková.
As part of the concert, we also decided to organize an online appeal to donate to Mary's Meals - an organization that provides regular meals to children from poor areas.
If you weren't able to attend the concert, or feel like you'd like to contribute more, you can do so here!
Thank you so much in advance!

Mary’s Meals, formerly known as Scottish International Relief, is a registered charity which sets up school feeding programmes in some of the world’s poorest communities.
It was founded in 2002 and has grown to a worldwide campaign, providing free school meals in hundreds of schools in Africa, Asia and South America, and feeding more than two and half million children daily.
The promise of a good meal brings children into the classroom, where they can gain an education and better opportunities for the future. For many, a meal from Mary’s Meals is the only food of the day.
Only CZK 550 (22€) is enough to provide one hot meal a day for one child for the entire school year.

Mezinárodní hnutí Mary's Meals vzniklo v roku 2002 jako reakce na důsledky hladomoru ve východoafrickém Malawi. Začínalo poskytováním stravy pro 200 dětí v jedné místní škole a dnes již zajišťuje jedno teplé jídlo denně po dobu celého školního roku pro více než dva a čtvrt milionu dětí v 18 nejchudších zemích Afriky, Asie, Jižní Ameriky, Karibiku a Blízkého východu. Tento projekt stojí na nezištné, obětavé a vytrvalé práci desítek tisíc dobrovolníků zajištujících jak propagaci myšlenky a získávání finančních prostředků v dárcovských zemích, tak nákup místních surovin, jejich distribuci do zapojených škol a následně přípravu a výdej jídla dětem v cílových zemích. V české pobočce Mary's Meals se řídíme pravidlem, že 100 % přijatých darů je použito na přímou charitativní činnost a provozní náklady hradíme z privátních zdrojů. Díky těmto skutečnostem postačí na zajištění jednoho teplého jídla denně pro jedno dítě po dobu celého školního roku již 550 Kč.
