Dr. Rick Randolph sat comfortably in his Leawood home Friday night as his cocker spaniel Lola frolicked at his feet, his memories vivid of the war-torn country he had spent two weeks in earlier this month.
He is part of a team of medical volunteers with Global Care Force, a non-profit based in Lenexa. Their volunteers make monthly visits to Ukraine, driving for hours each day to small villages where care is otherwise hard to get.
“The villages that are up there, really, nobody has gone back in there to build them up because they’re relatively close to the front,” he said. “We could hear the artillery.”
