Description
"When the potato crop failed catastrophically in the autumn of 1846, Quakers came together to set up a sophisticated relief organisation. Through this system donations were solicited in Ireland, Britain and America, and large amounts of food, Clothing and money were distributed where they were most needed. Later this relief organisation became involved in longer term projects such as assistance to agriculture, fisheries and industry and the provision of training ... the experience gained became the foundation for Quaker relief operations which continue today." --Back cover.
