The Shed That Fed a Million Children: The Mary`s Meals Story

Mary`s Meals is born from acts of love. If you put all those many acts of sacrifice together it creates a beautiful thing. Mary`s Meals tells the inspirational and compelling story of how a cripplingly shy fish farmer from Argyll, Scotland, became the international CEO of a global charity that now feeds over 800,000 children a day. In 1992, Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow was enjoying a pint with his brother when he got an idea that would change his life – and radically change the lives of others. After watching a news bulletin about war-torn Bosnia, the two brothers agreed to take a week`s hiatus from work to help. What neither of them expected is that what began as a one-time road trip in a beaten-up Landrover rapidly grew to become Magnus`s life`s work – leading him to leave his job, sell his house and direct all his efforts to feeding thousands of the world`s poorest children. Magnus retells how a series of miraculous circumstances and an overwhelming display of love from those around him led to the creation of Mary`s Meals; an organisation that now holds the key to eradicating child hunger altogether.This humble, heart-warming yet powerful story has never been more relevant in our society of plenty and privilege. It will open your eyes to the extraordinary impact that one person can make.
