Thank you for helping me complete our mission. From 18 to 25 of February 2024 we went to Ukraine for third time, during the week when the war completed two years. As The World Bread Hero 2021. I deliver the aid that his friends in Charlotte helped me collect. 

Hi, I am Manolo Betancur, from Manolo’s Bakery.
