WCK's Carmen witnessed that firsthand when distributing meals in the Philippines after the earthquake. #ChefsForPhilippines

When Guilerne had to flee from her home in Haiti, she left with almost nothing. She didn't know where or how she could get meals for her children. WCK & Hôpital Albert Schweitzer Haiti's #ChefsForHaiti meals can't fix everything, but families like Guilerne's will know they aren't alone.

WCK’s Mae and Verónica are checking in from Cebu Airport, where our team is loading a plane bound for Bantayan Island—one of the areas hardest hit by the recent earthquake. With the destruction making roads impassable, air transport is the best way to reach isolated communities. #ChefsForPhilippines
