We have an update on a Scottish schoolgirl’s food blog, NeverSeconds.

Martha Payne posts photos and comments on her school cafeteria lunches, and also uses the blog to raise money for a charity for African children. In less than two months, Martha’s blog has raised $125,000 for schoolchildren in Blantyre, Malawi.

The funds will help build a new kitchen and feed the children for a year. The school plans to name the kitchen after Martha.
