I second that!!!!
When the Nobel Peace Prize is announced on Friday, I hope it's awarded to the Ukrainian people for their unbreakable defiance against Russian aggression.

We keep delivering where people need us @WCKitchen and no one else’s goes to. #ChefsForNepal Proud of them!
WCK’s Karen checking in with the latest from Gre, Nepal📍 Families in Gre usually depend on the markets in low-lying areas along the Trishuli River for food. Unfortunately, flooding washed everything away, leaving entire communities without access to daily necessities. WCK is making regular helicopter deliveries to Gre to distribute staples like rice and oil, alongside other necessities like soap, to make sure residents have what they need as they recover. #ChefsForNepal

We are on the side of humanity. That's why humanitarians must be protected all over the world, especially in Gaza and Ukraine. WCK founder @chefjoseandres writes in The Guardian about the dangers faced by humanitarians in conflict zones—and why the world needs to respect international laws. This is a story about accountability, about the protection of aid workers, and why the world cannot afford to look away. Read José's full op-ed: wck.org/jose-andres-guardian… #ChefsForTheWorld

And we don’t stop!!! 🫶🏻@WCKitchen #ChefsForNepal
Checking in from Kathmandu, Nepal with WCK's John. 📍 Some communities have been cut off since the flash floods struck—unreachable by road or helicopter. So WCK assembled a team of experienced explorers who will drive as far as the terrain allows before trekking the rest of the way on foot. They're carrying essential medical supplies and meals, because no community should be left behind just because it's hard to reach. The knowledge we gain from this expedition will also help us map out areas where helicopters can deliver additional supplies—expanding our reach even further. We will keep you posted. #ChefsForNepal

WCK and our local restaurant partners in Nepal are working together to serve meals full of traditional flavors to families affected by the flooding. The team at Bajeko Sekuwa, a beloved Nepalese barbecue chain, is serving up plates of chicken curry, rice, and mixed vegetables. Because familiar dishes are more than food in times of crisis—they’re comfort. #ChefsForNepal

Incredible reporting. Stay well, stay safe @BDUTT
#NEPAL | One of the rockiest rides of my life. On the way from Trishuli to Rasuwa, the road itself tells the story of this catastrophe. Roads ripped apart. Bridges destroyed. Entire stretches cut off by the flash floods. Nepal Govt says more than 11,000 people have been rescued. In badly-hit Rasuwa, power has been restored to about 30% of households, while six 48-metre Bailey bridges and a 70-metre bridge are being deployed to reconnect communities cut off by destroyed infrastructure. But there is another desperate search underway. Rescue crews are looking for hundreds of workers believed trapped inside hydropower tunnels after mud flooded the sites. More than 900 workers are still missing across various projects. And so, the journey to Rasuwa is not just a journey through a damaged road. It is a journey through the scale of what this flood has done to Nepal. With Anoop Kumar Jha for @themojostory

As first responders rush to rescue people trapped by the flash floods in Nepal, WCK teams are on the ground, working closely with local partners each day to make sure families going through unimaginable circumstances have something warm to eat. Hear WCK's John speak to @cnn about what our teams are seeing on the ground and how the need remains intense: cnn.com/2026/08/31/tv/video/… #ChefsForNepal
