Important story to tell submitted by Xris on August 19, 2021, 4:42pm I'm glad this author told the story of Nasreen and her secret school, because now I know what might be in store for the girls left in Afghanistan right now, since the Taliban just took control again after the US withdrew. I hope they get as many girls who what to leave Afghanistan as they can.
