It’s hard to not want to promote this group. They are doing some incredible work. Yes, to give one decent meal to over 700,000 children a day–children that would otherwise struggle to get that meal, that often suffer from hunger–is quite an accomplishment. It’s a very simple program, yet it makes a huge impact. A number of videos explaining it are online. Here’s a 6 minute introductory video:
Mary’s Meals USA – The Difference A Meal Makes from Mary's Meals on Vimeo.
Here’s an interview on “The Choices We Face” with the founder. This gives lots of information.
Mary’s Meals – Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow from Renewal Ministries on Vimeo.
Here’s the complete movie done by Grassroots Films called “Child 31.” It’s quite powerful, although not as informative as the interview, so I recommend watching the interview first.
Finally, here’s the US website for Mary’s Meals: Mary’s Meals USA.
P.S. If you need some encouragement to learn more about this, perhaps a message from Celine Dion will help:
