www.marysmeals.org.uk/marys-meals-responds-to-ebola-crisis-in-west-africa/Mary’s Meals responds to Ebola crisis in West Africa MARY'S MEALS DELIVERS EMERGENCY MEALS TO EBOLA PATIENTS AND HUNGRY CHILDREN, AMID FOOD SHORTAGE REPORTS Posted FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 12 2014 by LOUISE HENDERSON in LATEST NEWS Mary’s Meals is delivering food aid to thousands of people affected by the Ebola outbreak in Liberia – including patients infected by the deadly virus – following the launch of a new emergency relief effort. Under normal circumstances, Mary’s Meals reaches more than 128,000 impoverished children across Liberia each day, attracting them to the classroom with a nutritious meal in school. However, the recent crisis has brought a temporary halt to our feeding programme in the country, with all schools now closed. Striving to make effective use of our resources, expertise and significant community standing in Liberia, Mary’s Meals has now launched an emergency response to the Ebola outbreak by distributing food to children in their homes. Moreover, Mary’s Meals is reacting quickly to requests from embattled health care workers to provide much-needed food aid to suspected Ebola sufferers. Meals are being distributed at three holding centres in the townships of Tubmanburg, Robertsport and Brewerville. “We have been working in Liberia since 1997 at the height of the country’s hideous and terrifying civil war,” said Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow, Mary’s Meals’ founder and CEO. “During those years, we supported the people amidst unimaginable violence. Today, we are determined to again provide continuity and potentially life-saving support, at a time when the communities we serve are facing, in Ebola, a truly frightening invisible enemy. “It is thanks to the generosity of our supporters around the world that Mary’s Meals can act quickly in times of crisis to provide vital food supplies to people in desperate need.” The Mary’s Meals crisis response has already seen around 10,000 children receive emergency food rations in their homes and is focused on two counties, Grand Cape Mount and Bomi – both of which have been cut off from the capital Monrovia by military blockade. The state of emergency declared by Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has led to the establishment of quarantined zones and the restriction of people’s movements. As a result, there have been widespread reports of soaring food prices, increased hunger and a general rise in food insecurity across the region. Mary’s Meals staff on the ground are working closely with community leaders to deliver and monitor the emergency food distribution programme. They are also routinely giving best practice information and advice on preventing infection from the Ebola virus. At least 2,200 people infected with Ebola have died so far this year across Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Nigeria, with Liberia suffering the most hardship by far. The World Health Organisation has declared the crisis an international health emergency. The extraordinary measures ordered by the Liberian government mean that schools will remain closed until further notice.

Just my opinion, but I think that we know that Gerry is a compassionate person and his heart and perhaps his purse strings are open to a variety of charities close to his heart. Mary's Meals, for one, has proven to be close to his heart and that commitment has been felt globally. I would think that if "Magnus" would call upon him if needed, he would answer with all the enthusiasm and love he has for the cause.

I see that GB has donated his rat bike to auctioned by the MGP. GB is such a sweet and generous man. Good on him for giving a possession away.
