  • Motion reference: S5M-22581

That the Parliament applauds the Dunbar resident, Anique Burke, who, with two of her two friends, Hannah McVicar and Harriet Woodward, recently cycled 385 miles from Birmingham to Edinburgh in a week to raise funds to help support Jacaranda Primary and Secondary School,which is located outside of Limbe, Malawi; notes that the school is run by the Jacaranda Foundation to educate and care for some of that country’s most vulnerable children and support their families and community; acknowledges that Anique has also been making and selling face masks at Dunbar Fashion School, raising nearly £2,000, and commends Anique, Hannah and Harriet on their fundraising efforts for such a worthwhile cause.
