This inspiring biography tells the remarkable story of Maggiorino Andrea Botta, born on 31 May 1929, in a small town in Italy. Botta was a soldier of unwavering resilience; he endured the hardships of war, hunger, and violence – never losing sight of his mission to help others. As a Consolata Missionary, he dedicated his life to the people of Meru County, Kenya, focusing on evangelisation, healthcare, and education. His simple yet powerful belief – "I like to help because the more you give, the happier you are" – guided every step of his journey. Even after leaving religious life, Botta continued his mission as a layperson, leaving a legacy of kindness and service.
