About the Author/作者介绍: 马格努斯的职业生涯始于阿盖尔农村的一名鲑鱼养殖户,但当巴尔干半岛冲突开始时,他和他的兄弟被电视上的场景所感动,他们收集了一辆吉普车,并加入了前往波斯尼亚分发援助物资的车队。回到家后,马格努斯希望能恢复工作,但他回来后发现,公众一直在捐款,相反,他继续组织和分发援助。2002年,他的工作把他带到马拉维,在那里他遇到了一个家庭,他们的情况会改变他的工作进程,于是玛丽的餐食就诞生了。
Magnus started his career as a Salmon farmer in rural Argyll, but when the Balkan conflict began, he and his brother were so moved by the scenes on television that they gathered a jeep-load of aid and joined a convoy travelling to Bosnia to distribute it. On his return home, Magnus expected to resume his job, however, he came back to discover that the public had carried on donating and instead he continued organising and distributing aid. In 2002 his work led him to Malawi, where he met a family whose situation would alter the course of his work, and Mary’s Meals was born.
