- Places & Travel
How can you travel the world without leaving America? By spending time with refugees in your own city.
Emma Eagen is a full-time pre-med student and part-time AmeriCorps volunteer at Rochester Refugee Sewing and Repair, a small nonprofit manufacturer that employs former United Nations refugees in Upstate New York.
When she's not studying to become a global health pediatrician, Emma spends upwards of twenty hours a week helping run the shop, which has converted all of its operations to make facemasks for healthcare professionals fighting the Corona virus.
In this episode, Emma shares some powerful lessons she's learned from working with the women at Rochester Refugee.
