MUM's
recipes was launched in 2005 after a one night shift in the Simpson's
Maternity Unit in Edinburgh May 2005, Linda McDonald a parent of a former
pupil (Sally McDonald) heard the stories and saw photographs of one of
the worst maternity hospitals in Malawi. Babies dying daily, lying on
a rack in a filthy sluice, and mothers were dying weekly due to lack of
resources. It was shocking in this day and age and most shocking of all
knowing their deaths were avoidable. Therefore Linda set out to try and
help raise money for a better chance for these mothers and babies.
MUMs Recipes is a response to a shocking situation and having an overwhelming
need and determination to help try and alleviate some of the pain and
suffering.
There are 3 recipe books to buy and help support the Malawi underprivilleged mothers.

If you are a former pupil of Knightswood Secondary I would encourage you to visit the Former Pupil Website created and maintained by Rosemary Young (herself an ex-pupil of the school). On the site you will be able to register messages and get in touch with old school pals all for no fee (unlike friends reunited). There is also a huge amount of old photograph waiting to be seen (thanks to John Lightbody for posting these images).
