40. Ukraine: Everything you need to know and what you can do to help

Since Russia invaded Ukraine on the 24th February, I think it’s safe to say we’ve all been thinking about the Ukrainian people. This week I’ve been in neighboring Poland, (which, at the time of recording this is now estimated to be home to 4 million Ukrainian refugees). I’ve been honoured to speak to some incredible people both leaving Ukraine and volunteers and NGO’s on the ground supporting those leaving Ukraine. In this episode you will hear from Iryna - who fled Ukraine after finding out she was on the Russian kill list, Cat and James, both volunteers from California, and Elmi Abdi, a Somali refugee in Poland, supporting non-Ukrainian’s leaving Ukraine.To directly support Elmi Abdi’s incredible work:https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/nonukrainiansinukraineTo check out Love Welcomes, our wonderful sponsor:https://www.lovewelcomes.org/(remember to use the discount code WWT at check out for 10% off)To buy our merch:https://theworldwidetribeshop.com/To support this podcast:https://www.patreon.com/theworldwidetribe Hosted on Acast.
