Sinossi
Furono le immagini della guerra nei Balcani a toccare profondamente Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow e a spingerlo per la prima volta all'azione, insieme al fratello Fergus. Presero una settimana di vacanza dal lavoro e si precipitarono là, in Bosnia-Erzegovina, per dare una mano. Quella che iniziò come una piccola avventura, a bordo di una Land Rover malridotta, divenne per Magnus la grande impresa della vita, per la quale avrebbe lasciato il lavoro, venduto la casa e compiuto ogni sforzo possibile. Obiettivo: sfamare i bambini più poveri della Terra. Con emozione e intensità, Magnus racconta come una serie di circostanze miracolose e un'incredibile quantità di gesti d'amore abbiano portato alla creazione di Mary's Meals, l'organizzazione che oggi arriva a sfamare oltre un milione di bambini nel mondo. Una storia di umiltà, determinazione e immensa ispirazione. Uno straordinario messaggio di speranza e di altruismo per la nostra società, opulenta, ingiusta e indifferente.

Last fall I spent four weeks traveling through Malawi, a small and very poor country in southeastern Africa. There I visited the offices of Mary’s Meals, a nonprofit organization started in 2002 with the mission of giving children a single nutritious meal every day in an educational setting.

This book makes me feel as though I have led a small life. So many people are living their lives for the good of humanity. Perhaps this read has allowed me to see what we should be living for and has opened my eyes to the possibilities.
I love books about grass roots philanthropic organizations. This one is especially compelling since it also is a testament of the founders faith. Moving and inspiring.
As I read "The Shed That Fed A Million Children" I was moved deeply by the heartfelt vision of a man who came from a small village in Scotland and yet moved an entire world to see that we can make a difference with simple solutions. This story is so vividly told by the founder of Mary's Meals Magn
I have waited for the release of this book with much anticipation as I have been following the work of Mary's Meals for many years.
