Join us for Book Club on Friday, February 28th at 11am. This month's book is "Last To Eat, Last To Learn" by Pashtana Durrani and Tamara Bralo. Call or visit to reserve your copy of this biography and then join us for the discussion on the 28th.
Book summary:
Pashtana was raised in an Afghan refugee camp in Pakistan where her father founded a school for girls within their home. Fueled by his insistence that despite being a girl, she mattered and deserved an education, she was granted a path out of the refugee camp: admittance to a preparatory program at Oxford. She chose a different path - Afghanistan. She founded the nonprofit LEARN and developed a program to get educational materials directly into the hands of girls in remote areas of the country and training teachers. Her commitment to education has made her a target of the Taliban, but she continues to fight for women’s education and autonomy in Afghanistan and beyond.
