Elise Arya Chen on Refugee Rights & Finding Purpose in Life

Elise Arya Chen is a passionate human rights advocate who has been working with the refugee community for about three and a half years now. She's currently a coordinator of the Coalition of Burma Ethnics Malaysia (COBEM) and was previously attached to Tenaganita. She joins us on the show today to share about her journey so far, finding her purpose in life and how a seemingly grim and thankless job can be incredibly fulfilling.
