Episode 52 : Amy Sins with Fill the Needs
Welcome to Episode 52 of The Afghanistan Project Podcast, featuring Amy Sins, a master of all trades and dynamic disaster relief professional. Amy is a chef and owner of Langlois, a traveling culinary showcase in her hometown of New Orleans, Louisiana. Amy is also the founder and executive director of Fill the Needs, a nonprofit organization through which she and her team provide immediate assistance within the first two weeks of natural or man-made disasters.
Amy was the focus of TAPP’s second episode, where she talked about the case that found her pivoting into the world of Afghanistan evacuations. Today, we talk about the changes that have occurred in more than a year since we last spoke. Amy reported that all of the families whose cases she has been involved in have safely departed Afghanistan, and she shared the story of visiting one of those families overseas to share a hug – and some excellent Afghan cooking.
Amy also talked about the expansion of her disaster relief
efforts into other countries where urgent evacuations were required. Having seen what can go wrong for Americans living abroad or traveling abroad, even in seemingly safe countries, Amy shared advice that can help travelers think outside the box in case of emergency, and make the necessary preparations to thrive in adverse circumstances.
