I chose the Gailic name Eorpa to denote Scotland’s unique, post-enlightenment position at the top of the World.

We have given a lot to it and as the UK looks to two imperative referendums in the next decade we consider our future.

In history there are always those who have allowed themselves to be crushed in order to pass through the eye of the needle that is the realisation own insignificance. They straighten up ecstatically and move forward unflinchingly with their purpose.

The Glasgow shoemaker William Quarrier was such a man.

Mother Teresa provided an excellent commentary on the occidental situation -

"Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for by everyboby, I think that is a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat."

 Ar the same time we need to consider the very basic obstacles to self realisation that those who cannot provide for their bodies face. In providing one meal a day in a place of education Mary's Meals strives for children to at least get a foothold on Abraham Masslow's structure.

In forthright but gentle, classically Scots manner Mary's Meals is proclaimed by its founder to be,

"The simple solution to world hunger that works."
