Magnus Macfarlane-Barrow’s first experience of delivering aid was to
drive a Land Rover crammed with food, clothing and medicine from the
Highlands of Scotland down to Bosnia. At the time he was a salmon
farmer: he had taken just a week’s holiday to do it. When he got back,
his family shed was bulging with aid that had poured in from friends and
friends of friends. He quit his job, sold his house, and learned to
drive articulated lorries. Now, about 20 years later, his charity Mary’s
Meals feeds half a million children every day.
