About the author
Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow
8 books20 followersBorn in Aberdeen in 1968, Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow started his career as a fish farmer. When the Balkan conflict began, he and Fergus, his brother, were so moved by the scenes on television that in 1992 they gathered a jeep load of aid and joined a convoy travelling to Medjugorje in Bosnia.
On his return home, Magnus discovered that the public had carried on donating, filling his parents garage in Dalmally with goods. Magnus gave up his job for a year to drive the aid out for as long as it was needed and kept being given. Donations did not stop and soon became necessary to set up as a registered charity, then known as Scottish International Relief.
Today, Mary's Meals provides nutritious daily meals to 989,791 children across four continents.
Its vision is for every child to receive a daily meal in a place of education. The global average cost of feeding a child for a whole school year is just £12.20.
Magnus was named one of 2010's 'Top Ten Heroes' by broadcaster CNN and received an OBE in the 2011 New Years Honours list.
