Basira was born in 1997 in Kabul and is a high school student. She learned English in school and she wants to express the views of Afghan women who cannot do it themselves. “My happiest moment is when I can be their voice.”.

I am happy to report that Basira has now come to America, where she is pursuing her own dreams of a rigorous education and rich life experience. As her mentor and tutor I can say that she has great potential to contribute to the world, either here or back home in Afghanistan.
