Episode 10: Refugee Resettlement in the US, Where Do They Begin? 🎙️
Today’s guest I invited Dr Mona Megahed, the vice president of the non-profit organization Ethaar. Ethaar is an amazing organization whose mission is in the assistance of resettling refugees upon their arrival in the US, specifically those assigned to arrive in Atlanta, GA.
As many may have seen through my posts, I conduct annual donation drives to help provide hygiene packages and winter coats to refugee families who recently arrived and have come with nothing. I have worked alongside this amazing organization who has been my source of contact in finding the families most in need, and especially those whose short period of assistance with a non-profit has ended, to help lighten some of the life’s burden they already face.
Due to my amazing donors, we have been able to help hundreds of families over +13 years in conducting these drives. Through my work, I try to show and remind the community of people in need right in our own backyard. However, there have been times where some just see my posts and see a different picture of life as a refugee and the reason they are here.
That is why I invited Mona to help shed light into the journey of a refugee and what the resettlement process entails.
