Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow was named in CNN’s Top 10 Heroes of 2010 and Scottish entrepreneur Duncan Bannatyne calls him the most inspirational man he’s ever met.
Magnus’ charity Mary’s Meals began as a one-off school feeding programme in Malawi in 2002 and now brings one school meal a day to nearly 1 million children in the world’s poorest communities, where hunger and poverty prevent children from gaining an education.
It is a campaign that has gained the support of high-profile figures such as actor Gerard Butler, former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown and singer Celine Dion, and is run from a garden shed in the Scottish Highlands.
Magnus was in Dublin to receive an award from the Oireachtas Human Dignity Group in recognition of the work of Mary’s Meals, and he joined Wendy in the studio to tell us the story of the charity which he describes simply as “a series of lots of little acts of love.”
