In La Guaira, Venezuela, the heat can be relentless, but so are the people searching for survivors. With rescue crews stretched far beyond their capacity, it is often neighbors who are doing the searching: climbing through rubble, looking for the people they know and love. WCK teams are walking those same routes, bringing cold water directly to everyone on the front lines of the effort. In this heat, this humidity, this sun, staying hydrated is essential. #ChefsForVenezuela #FoodIsLife En La Guaira, Venezuela, el calor puede ser implacable, pero también lo son las personas que buscan sobrevivientes. Con los equipos de rescate muy por encima de su capacidad, son a menudo los propios vecinos quienes realizan las búsquedas: trepando entre los escombros, buscando a las personas que conocen y quieren. Los equipos de WCK recorren esas mismas rutas, llevando agua fría directamente a todos los que están en la primera línea del esfuerzo. Con este calor, esta humedad, este sol, mantenerse hidratado es esencial. #ChefsForVenezuela #FoodIsLife

A severe sandstorm swept across Gaza this weekend, turning the sky yellow and damaging displaced families’ temporary shelters. However, WCK’s Palestinian teams didn’t let the storm keep them from supporting their communities. They still showed up at our kitchens, ready to prepare and distribute hot meals to people in need. #ChefsForGaza
