Quote #10

"Mrs. Weera was going to Pakistan. "Homa will come with me. We'll put her to work there." They were going to link up with the members of the women's group who were organizing Afghan women in exile.

"Where will you stay?"

"I have a cousin in one of the camps," Mrs. Weera replied. "She has been wanting me to come and live with her."

"Is there a school there?"

"If there isn't, we'll start one." (15.37-15.41)

Mrs. Weera has devoted her life to educating Afghan women, but if she can't teach in Afghanistan anymore, then she'll move to Pakistan—no matter what though, the teaching must continue. She flippantly mentions starting a new school from scratch like it's a piece of cake, but we don't doubt her.
