The number of global refugees has reached an unprecedented high. The international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders is bringing that reality home with a touring exhibit guided by aid workers. The first stop is in Boulder, Colorado where the display will remain for a week beginning today. To learn more, KDNK’s Raleigh Burleigh spoke with medical team leader Mark Leirer. The exhibit runs until Sunday, September 10.

Raleigh Burleigh was raised in the historic floodplanes of Satank. The Carbondale Rotary Club sponsored him as a youth ambassador to Chile the year before his graduation from Roaring Fork High School. He studied International Affairs and Journalism at the University of Colorado, Boulder then applied those studies traveling throughout South America the following year. Returning to Carbondale thereafter, Raleigh acquired an internship with KDNK News which led to the opportunity to serve as News Director from 2017 to 2019. After another trip to South America in early 2019, Raleigh Burleigh drew deeper into the confluence as Program Director at KDNK. Raleigh now serves on KDNK's board of directors and as editor of Carbondale's weekly newspaper, The Sopris Sun.
