If you had one hour to grab 10 things from your house, knowing you’d never return, what would you take?
D’Onna Hammond said she’s been wrestling with that question since her trip to Athens, Greece, in May.
“It’s a hard question,” Hammond said last week.
Hammond is one of seven Global Scholars at Chattanooga State Community College who traveled to Greece last month to learn more about the global refugee crisis. There, they met people who were forced to make that choice when fleeing their homes.
“[The trip] gave us insight about what it took for refugees to make it to Greece, and how hard it was to leave home,” Hammond said.
