🥕 Did you know the Rex peeler was invented in Switzerland?

Also known as the “Y peeler”, it was invented and patented by Alfred Neweczerzal in 1947. Before that, vegetables were peeled with knives, requiring skill and causing waste. Made from one piece of aluminum, it’s affordable, durable, and easy to use for everyone.

Four years is a long time.
For a child, it is a lifetime.

If we want this to end, Europe must do more.
The world must do more.

Every child deserves a future—and a daily life where the classroom is above ground, and where their family is safe.

This 🇺🇦 Ukrainian kid has more bravery than the entire West combined. I am ashamed we aren’t all doing more, and I hope every single one of us looks back at this moment and asks, “What if I had done more?”

And then decides TOMORROW to do something to help.

Please.
