Kilsyth kids help overseas children
THE lives of 77 needy children will be changed for the better within the next few weeks thanks to the members of the Burns and Old Parish Church’s Bold Kids Klub.
The youngsters have been busily collecting and packing backpacks to be sent to areas affected by war, famine, poverty or natural disaster by Mary’s Meals.
In total, 58 rucksacks were handed over to Terry McKee, a volunteer with the charity.
