Every episode addresses various issues affecting these communities and explores their efforts to overcome adversity.
Shabnaam conducted an interview with two talented Afghan teachers, Mrs. NasrinHamidi and Mrs. Pashtun Sharara, both of whom are immigrants from Afghanistan to Pakistan.
Mrs.NasrinHamidi has dedicated 30 years of her life to educating Afghan girls and boys, working in various schools. With unwavering honesty and enthusiasm, she has contributed significantly to the education sector, nurturing generations of Afghan students.
Mrs. Pashtun Sharara, who previously worked in numerous universities and schools in Mazar-e Sharif province, held an important role in Afghanistan’s education system under the former government. However, after the regime change and the collapse of the government, she was forced to leave Afghanistan and migrate to Pakistan. Now living under challenging conditions, Mrs. Sharara, like many others, struggles with the uncertainties of life as a refugee.
Both of these dedicated educators have been waiting for two years in Pakistan, hoping for an opportunity to resettle in a third country where they can rebuild their lives and continue their contributions to the field of education.
