Zara Husain

A women named Zara Husain came in to share her amazing story. She lived in Pakistan and came to America to finish her education. Through her experience she explained the differences in their culture and traditions. She had a passion that was contagious and drew me into her presentation. We were lucky enough to see a slide show of the children and school itself. The bright paintings and library were something to be applauded. The fact that she took her life savings to gather resources, buy property, and build this school for children is remarkable. Most of her students are oral, but some are Deaf. She believes the most important thing is their education. This means she is willing to use total communication. With the help of her mom as a speech therapist, she is able to provide these children with the potential to have a future. She is one person you is taking a stand, fighting against the endless social justice issues we have been discussing over the semester. My building this school she is reducing the lack of education and illiteracy, which can ultimately effect not only their future and employment, but their children as well. We need more people like Zara to take action and make a change.
