“لا يمكننا تجاهل هذہ القصص، ولا يمكننا تجاهل هذہ الحقيقة أيضا.”

Aparna Bhattacharyya received her bachelor’s degree in criminal justice at Georgia State University because she originally wanted to be a criminal justice attorney. Upon graduating, she began working for the Atlanta Victim Witness Assistance Program. She was able to help coordinate training for the Olympic Crisis Response Team in this role. This opportunity would expand her mission’s field to connect with refugee survivors and organizations cultivating communities for people in need, as it proved that humans are far more powerful when we work together.
