More Than Your Honor

أنا أكثر من شرفك

A Woman's Honor

Dear Girl

Angel

Afghan returnee Kobra says learning = independence. ⠀⁣⁣⁣
⠀⁣⁣⁣
The 27-year-old was born in Iran and lived as a refugee in Iran and Pakistan with her family before returning and settling in her home country, Afghanistan.⠀⁣⁣⁣
⠀⁣⁣⁣
Kobra studies software engineering at Kabul University thanks to a DAFI scholarship. One of the first DAFI recipients in Afghanistan, Kobra dreams of someday teaching young people to use computers. She was interviewed by Fellow DAFI scholar and aspiring journalist Robina Raoufi.⠀⁣⁣⁣
⠀⁣⁣⁣
"If I couldn’t study, I would feel paralyzed. I would be living my life as just a body in this world and would not be able to contribute to society," says Kobra. ⠀⁣⁣⁣
⠀⁣⁣⁣
Robina asked Kobra what she'd like to do after graduation.⠀⁣⁣⁣
⠀⁣⁣⁣
"I want to work in the national passport office to earn an income. I also want to teach on the side– it will be a way for me to support communities. I know what it is like to suffer from a poor education." ⠀⁣⁣ ⁣
