Books, Manuscripts
Many see charitable organisations and initiatives as hopelessly ineffective, old fashioned and even corrupt. Most recently, well known international aid organisations have been rocked by scandals. But running parallel to this, people all over the world are engaged in a multitude of charitable activities. Magnus recounts personal encounters that he has had with startling acts of charity in many different cultures and situations. These deeply moving stories will illuminate the beauty of giving and the life changing impact these acts of charity have upon the giver and receiver, as well as the truth that these acts of sharing - and even sacrifice - are an intrinsic part of what it means to be human.
