Andy Lenec
On Thursday, Andy Lenec presented to the Broomfield Rotary Club about the determination of the Ukrainian people as they fight for their freedom against Russia. As the son of Ukrainian refugees, Andy has a deep connection to Ukraine. He is a member of Rotary and has served with the Peace Corps missions to Ukraine, which he described as life-changing experiences.
Today, Andy stays in touch with several of his counterparts in Ukraine, where he worked with children in several schools to set life goals and various projects to support the war effort. One such project uses solar panels that are adapted to charge cell phones. Since much of the country's electrical grid has been destroyed by Russian bombing these solar panels have proven important for communication and tracking Russian drones.
