Mr McConnell visited pupils at St Bernadette's after they raised £1,100
Former First Minister Jack McConnell has visited primary school children in Tullibody after they raised money for youngsters in Malawi.
Pupils at St Bernadette's forged a link with Nankhwala Catholic School in Monkey Bay three years ago after being visited by a priest from the country.
Mr McConnell, who will become the UK's High Commissioner to Malawi in 2009, collected £1,100 from the children.
Malawi is among the world's poorest countries with a million HIV sufferers.
Mr McConnell was first minister from November 2001 until last May's elections.
Pupils at St Bernadette's raised the money from running events and by selling health food.
