Extending reach of the power of love

-

A BEAUTIFUL new film about the charity Mary’s Meals, featuring Gerard Butler, has just been released.

Love Reaches Everywhere sees the Hollywood actor visiting schools in Liberia and Haiti in the 30-minute feature.

Mary’s Meals normally serves nutritious meals in schools, attracting impoverish­ed children to the classroom where they can gain an education that will one day be their ladder out of poverty.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, we have developed safe methods of distributi­on which allow almost all the children who normally enjoy our meals to eat at home instead.

Love Reaches Everywhere shows Gerard, who has starred in films such as 300 and P.S. I Love You, immersing himself in community life – teaching a maths lesson, planting crops in a school garden, carrying water from a local well, and even sharing acting tips with some children.

It is available to watch free now at marysmeals.org/lovereache­severywher­e

I hope it will be a tonic for readers at this uncertain time, showing the difference donations made here in the UK can make to little ones living in some of the world’s poorest countries – and proving that love really does reach everywhere.
