It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the news these days—to give up and go into your hole. 🙈
But Mikhail Mikhaylov decided to do something. He's a college senior at the University of Florida, a Russian-American student who's fighting for Ukraine.
In addition to his demanding coursework, Mikhail is a co-founder and president of URI, the Ukraine Rebuilding Initiative. It’s a group of about 40 undergraduates who are working to help heal and rebuild the city of Nizhyn, in Northern Ukraine.
In concrete terms, they’re helping with things like building bomb shelters at bus stops and obtaining prosthetic limbs for Ukrainian veterans who’ve been injured in the war. Mikhail even worked closely with Gainesville Mayor Henry Ward to establish a sister city relationship with Nizhyn.
Just curious, what were you doing in your senior year of college?
On this week's podcast, we're talking about universal healthcare, affordable housing, and whether it's OK to name your kids after yourself 👀
