Afghanistan Quote of the Day: 11 February 2014

“What affected me most was the amazing faith they had in the future, in spite of the risks they had run getting here and the uncertainty that lay ahead. They had an innocence and a trust that melted my heart. Whatever it took, we simply had to find a way to keep educating these girls.”

Suraya  Sadeed, “Forbidden Lessons in a Kabul Guesthouse,” 2011
