Many people faced a variety of hardships around the world in 2022. But there was also much hope, with people coming together to help others out in their time of need. Today’s show shines a light on those who went out of their way this year to offer a helping hand. World renowned Spanish chef José Ramón Andrés made a trip to the frontlines of Ukraine’s war. A Syrian refugee tried to draw attention to his country’s plight through playing the piano in Germany. A neighbor helped a woman give birth at a temporary shelter in Pakistan. And a pub in Turkey is providing customers with a space where they can share their emotions.

The countdown has begun, and time is running out to donate to The World before our fundraising drive ends on Dec. 31. We can’t make our goal without your help. Make your gift today to power The World for another year!
