Julio Salado | On the border distributing food to Ukrainians - a podcast by Ose Schwab
from 2022-05-27T14:51:01
At a time when so many people in the the world are in crisis, it is hard to know what to do and how to help. Malden resident Julio Salado reflects on his week in Przemyśl, Poland as part of a ragtag team of international volunteers aiding Ukrainian refugee children and adults who crossed the border to flee the Russian invasion. Julio guides us through the steps he made to put his desire to help into action - from connecting with organizations on social media, to crowdfunding travel expenses, to the actual day-to-day labor of aiding refugees. His unique passion and energy are players in this story, but he insists that anyone can make a difference if they ask for the opportunity.
Julio is an award-winning fitness professional founder of Fitness Foundry in Malden. He is also a licensed EMT, an author, and an educator. As an active member of the community, he volunteers at several mutual aid and civic engagement groups both locally and beyond. You can get in contact with him via Twitter or through the Fitness Foundry website.
