Some dinner parties matter more than others. Pranav Chopra is remembering the one that changed his life. It was 2015.
“At the time I was doing corporate consultant work, and I went to supperclub. I was sitting there with strangers and we got talking — ‘What to do you? Where are you from?’ — and a couple told me they were from Syria,” Chopra pauses for a moment. “And they’d been out of work. I think one was a journalist and the other a dentist — but they didn’t have a job. Educated, trained people. Experienced people. And they told me they just hadn’t been able to get a job at all.”
