One of the things our love is the opportunity to write blogs on critical global issues. It has been amazing to see what is one their minds and how they are making sense of the world.

Love that WACNH Intern, Olivia Chamberlain, gained so much from listening to our podcast that we co-created with WorldOregon. Not only does she feel it made the information more digestible, but she also felt like she was a part of the conversation.

On a night featuring the leadership and insights of former National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, the World Affairs Council of NH presented the Global Leadership Award to Alex Ray, Lisa Mure, Susan Mathison, and Steve Rand of Common Man for Ukraine.

This nonprofit started as a conversation between four friends over lunch more than four years ago.

Now, Common Man for Ukraine has completed more than 50 humanitarian aid missions, including 15 led by these four friends, delivering more than 4 million pounds of food to innocent Ukrainians.

Focusing on long-term needs, we also operate two mental health retreat programs that have served more than 1,600 children and widows of killed or missing Ukrainian soldiers.

None of this humanitarian work would have been possible without each and every one of you who has supported us along the way.

Now, as Alex says, there’s .

On a day filled with drone attacks and warnings.

On Ukraine's National Flag Day, just one day before Ukrainian Independence Day.

Our deliveries are now underway.

When our Common Man for Ukraine volunteers arrived at today's first Ukrainian village and set up our table to distribute food and other critical aid, we immediately felt the crush of humanity.

Heartwarming. Heartbreaking. All at once.

Desperate and deeply grateful Ukrainian families rushed to line up to receive a 40-day supply of essential calories, as well as newly added personal care goods like shampoo.

Throughout the next several days, we'll arrive at 16 villages to distribute 48,000 pounds of food—aid made possible thanks to your support.

Today, we're in the midst of visiting six of those frontline villages.

The journey to these villages from the Poland-Ukraine border involved two full days of driving.

Along the way, air raid sirens blared loudly. Anti-drone netting covered many, but not all, of the roadways.

One of our many stops was at a gas station that had been the site of a Russian air attack just two weeks earlier.

At another store, we were about to purchase a watermelon. Out of an abundance of caution, we used the Geiger counter to check the radiation levels to ensure the fruit would be safe to eat. The Geiger counter showed radiation at 60 times higher than the acceptable level.

This is life in Ukraine right now.

Our humanitarian aid convoy continues throughout the week.

Please donate what you can to support Ukraine’s innocent children and families at commonmanforukraine.org.
