Aimee Zangandou says no one dreams of becoming a refugee. She can still remember vividly when she and her family arrived in Georgia. The year was 1997. She says her family fled their home country of Rwanda due to civil unrest.
Nearly 30 years later, Zangandou helps other refugees start new chapters. She currently serves as the executive director of refugee and immigrant services at Inspiritus.
On Monday’s edition of “Closer Look,” Zangandou joined Louisa Merchant, the director of refugee ministries at All Saints Episcopal in Midtown, and Rev. John R. Moeller Jr., the president and CEO of Inspiritus, for a roundtable discussion.
