Ernest checking in with the latest from Saipan📢 Our teams are on the ground in Saipan—one of the Northern Mariana Islands, a U.S. commonwealth in the Western Pacific—serving meals to families impacted by Super Typhoon Sinlaku. Many people waited out the storm in shelters, and they are still there as recovery efforts begin. With the help of dedicated volunteers like Ernest, we’re able to show up where food is needed most. #ChefsForSaipan

😅😅😅the strait was open, and peaceful….

You have the right idea and you will lead into the future how we take care of Americans that lost their home in a disaster! Happy to support you and to call you a friend! You are a true American! @EmergencyRv @LTFund @WCKitchen @fema @FEMAspox

On this day 31 years ago, a 12-year-old boy was shot and killed while riding a bicycle with his cousins in a village near Lahore, Pakistan. His name was Iqbal Masih. At four years old, his family sold him to a carpet factory owner to repay a debt of 600 rupees, less than $12. For the next six years, he was chained to a loom. He worked 12 hours a day, seven days a week, for a few cents. He was beaten with a carpet fork when he slowed down. The factory owners deliberately underfed the children so their fingers would stay small enough for the intricate weaving. By the time he was 10, he stood just four feet tall, 12 inches shorter than the average boy his age. One morning, he escaped. He jumped on the back of a tractor heading to a meeting about bonded labour. He heard a man explain that what the factory owners were doing was illegal under Pakistani law. When the man asked if anyone wanted to speak, Iqbal stepped up to the microphone. He never stopped. He helped free over 3,000 children from bonded labour in carpet factories across Pakistan. He completed five years of schoolwork in three. He spoke at international conferences in Sweden and the United States. He told a room full of adults in Boston that he wanted to become a lawyer so he could free every enslaved child in Pakistan. He was 12 years old. Brandeis University offered him a full scholarship and said they would be waiting for him. When asked why he would return to Pakistan when he knew his life was in danger, he said his mission was more important than his life. On Easter Sunday 1995, he was shot in the back while cycling home. He was hit by over 120 shotgun pellets. His cousins were barely touched. He was the target. His funeral was attended by 800 people. In the days that followed, 3,000 people marched through Lahore. Half of them were under the age of 12. After his death, a group of seventh-graders from a school in Massachusetts where Iqbal had once spoken raised $25,000 and built a school in his name in Pakistan. April 16 is now recognised as the International Day Against Child Slavery. The United States Congress created the Iqbal Masih Award for the Elimination of Child Labour in his honour. It is still given out every year.

There is bread for everyone if it is given to everyone. There is bread for everyone if it is taken, not with a hand that snatches away, but with a hand that gives. In this way, the food was abundant. It was not rationed out of necessity. It was not stolen in strife. It was not wasted by those who gorge themselves in the presence of those who have nothing to eat. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

In normal circumstances @USAID will be there already but……proud that @WCKitchen is there covering the needs in multiple islands….

Is a great partnership! And love @dolcezzagelato @jaleo @zaytinya

TODAY IS TAX DAY. HERE'S WHAT WARREN BUFFETT SAID ABOUT PAYING TAXES IN 2024 "Berkshire sent in a check for over $5 billion to the U.S. federal government last year." "If 800 other companies had done the same thing, no other person in the United States would have had to pay a dime of federal taxes. No income taxes. No Social Security taxes. No estate taxes. Nothing." "It doesn't bother me in the least to write that check. And I would really hope, with all that America has done for all of you, it shouldn't bother you that we do it."

Thank for what you do Tom. But too many meetings, too many promises….not enough boots on the ground and the $ commitment! @UN and every single government need to do more, and keep their promises…

WCK is expanding our response in Lebanon. Through a new partnership with Souk El Tayeb—an organization that promotes and preserves culinary traditions, rural heritage, and the natural environment—we've established a new community kitchen in Beirut already producing thousands of meals daily. We are now operating 12 kitchens across the country, delivering food to shelters and families across affected areas. Our teams are serving dishes like Yakhnet Batata, a traditional Lebanese potato stew—a reminder that even in a crisis, familiar food brings comfort and a sense of home. #ChefsForMidEast

It was a hard night for Ukraine, with multiple missile and drone attacks across the country… yet life goes on. One of our night trains has even increased its passenger count by +1 🐣 A baby boy was born on board near Fastiv station with the help of our train crew. Mother and son were safely handed over to medics and are doing well. Our “Iron Passenger” will receive a pass to our dedicated children’s railcars — we feel he’ll be a train buff for sure ;)

#Peace is not something we must invent: it is something we must embrace by accepting our neighbor as a brother or sister. We do not choose our brothers and sisters: we must simply accept one another! We are one family, inhabiting the same home: this wonderful planet that ancient cultures have cared for over millennia. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon

Pour que les choses soient claires : comme pretre catholique il est de mon devoir de dire au vice-président Vance,dont je connais les qualités qu’il n’a pas le droit comme catholique de donner ordre au Pape de se taire, ni d’invoquer les questions de moralité., avec des sous entendus désagréables. Comme vice-président, il peut bien évidemment invoquer la notion de guerre juste sans qu’il soit nécessaire de médire sur la moralité de l’Eglise. Je ne rajouterai plus rien sur cette question.

La paz es responsabilidad de todos, en primer lugar, de las autoridades civiles. Gobernar significa amar el propio país y también los países vecinos: el mandamiento “ama a tu prójimo como a ti mismo” es aplicable también en las relaciones internacionales. #ViajeApostólico #Camerún vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

Truly a privilege to go again. With Adare Manor hosting and the 100th Anniversary of the Ryder Cup, it is going to be a very special week Let’s go! 🇪🇺🇮🇪

Leaving #Sudan after a week across the country. The international community has failed the Sudanese people; failed to prevent the conflict, and to protect civilians. Short of ending this war, providing lifesaving assistance is the very least it can do.

Winning a second Masters is incredibly special and would not have been possible without the people who have supported me along the way.
