Yesterday, I shared a few people and organizations that were doing something to help those affected by the war in Ukraine. Some of you sent me more ways that our industry can help - especially those of us based in Eastern Europe.
The #HospitalityHelps campaign continues on social mediaβ¦.
The #HospitalityHelps initiative has 1 single goal: providing temporary hotel accommodation to Ukrainians, who have been forced to leave their homes. They connect families w/ hotels around Europe that want to help & provide free stays. Find out more: https://t.co/faRsqmKqYJ https://t.co/klQDLterGJ

Sani/Ikos Group is offering jobs and free accommodation with the same conditions and wages as their Greek staff to 300 Ukrainians:
This situation is heartbreaking, but Iβm inspired by people and groups like this that are stepping up to help those in need.
Who else is doing something here? Let me know and Iβll shareβ¦.
