The involvement of the winning school is an important opportunity to signal commitment by Scotland’s youth to communities in Malawi, in Africa as a whole, and across the globe. Jack McConnell - First Minister.
Scotland's links with Africa are long-standing. To strengthen these bonds, First Minister Jack McConnell and Tom Hunter of the Hunter Foundation have jointly launched the Scottish Schools Africa Challenge.
