Mr. Morrison, an
Irish child raised in England during the 1970s, worked for
various charities as a university student. On a humanitarian
visit to Bosnia, he was attacked and ended up in a makeshift
hospital with minimal supplies surrounded by wounded children.
It was then he decided to dedicate his life to helping those
hurt by war, natural disasters, poverty and illness. His organization
Care Highway currently is working on projects in Kenya, Mexico,
Panama, Serbia and other countries. For more information,
