It can be overwhelming to read the news these days, with all the pain and suffering in the world. We may struggle with how to respond or what WE can do, but there are always ways to help. In this episode, we talk with Dr. Pranav Shetty about his recent trip to Eastern Europe to support medical and humanitarian efforts in Ukraine. Dr. Shetty has been involved in many disaster relief efforts in the past, but this experience brought some new challenges.
