We're at the Ukraine-Poland border with Maxwell Eaton, an entrepreneur and restaurateur from New Orleans, who signed up to travel halfway around the world and volunteer to work with World Central Kitchen to help feed displaced Ukrainian families. Maxwell is the epitome of someone who asked the question "How can I best help?" and then dropped everything and showed up!
You may have seen the National Geographic documentary We Feed People from Academy Award-winning director Ron Howard, available for viewing on Disney+. The film spotlights renowned celebrity chef José Andrés and his nonprofit World Central Kitchen’s incredible mission and evolution over 12 years. They've become one of the most highly regarded humanitarian aid organizations in the disaster relief sector. And, most recently, they've set up shop at the Ukraine-Poland border to assist Ukrainians fleeing from the devastating war Russia has inflicted on their country.
We're all aware of the heroic efforts being made by President Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people. Their valiant example has inspired folks from around the world to help them, and one such person is today's guest! Join us as Maxwell shares stories and his experiences in this important humanitarian effort. We’re sure you’ll be inspired by hearing first-hand about the teamwork making the dreamwork for people in need. Thanks for being part of the Crazy Amazing Humans community. We appreciate you!
