World Chefs Without Borders (WCWB), the humanitarian arm of Worldchefs, continues to stand at the forefront of global culinary aid by bringing chefs together to support communities in crisis. In the wake of the recent disaster in Myanmar, WCWB, together with the Chinese Chefs Association (CCA), has taken swift and meaningful action to provide relief and support to those in need.
A symbolic cheque handover ceremony was held on April 16 in China, marking a significant moment of international solidarity. Led by Yi Ping of WCWB China and in collaboration with CCA China, an impressive fundraising effort brought in 360,000 RMB (approximately 43,000 Euros).
This vital funding will go directly toward medical supplies and emergency relief efforts, demonstrating the power of collective action across culinary communities.
“I want to sincerely thank the China Cuisine Association and the committed Chinese chefs who swiftly joined World Chefs Without Borders following the earthquake disaster in Myanmar. They responded to the call of the World Chefs Without Borders by embodying the ethics of our profession to convey warmth and compassion. By fostering connections of love, they demonstrated our industry’s sense of responsibility and encouraged fellow culinary professionals to initiate charitable donations to aid the affected communities in Myanmar, highlighting the humanitarian spirit of Chinese chefs on the global stage. The funds you raised for the “China Doctor Volunteers Organization” enabled the purchase of essential medical supplies and supported the relief efforts in Myanmar. Thank you for your invaluable support in rebuilding lives!”
