ShaunWinn.com - Winning Non-Profits Podcast

Today I sit down with Krzysztof Szczęsny, Director of the Modlinska Humanitarian Centre in Warsaw, Poland. This refugee centre is one of the largest in Poland and has served over 52,000 Ukrainian guests since the beginning of the war. What makes Krzysztof's story so unique is that just 6 months ago he was hobnobbing with celebrities as one of the most prominent event promoters in the area. Now Krzysztof and his team, moved by compassion, put their careers on hold to start Americans4Ukraine.org (in partnership with National Christian Foundation) to continue raising awareness and funds for the current and ongoing needs at the refugee centre.
