News of Nora, Fatima, and Strength in STEM, October 2024

-
Nora, Fatima, and their family continue to live with uncertainty in Pakistan. The commitment to Strength in STEM (SiSTEM) also continues, while the peril inherent in the life of refugees has forced Nora and Fatima to focus in multiple additional directions.  In April, Nora and Fatima announced a pause in SiSTEM classes, knowing their students were needed to help with Ramadan and preparation for Eid. At the time, they and their family were also growing increasingly concerned they would be forced to return to Afghanistan. As the oldest sibling, Nora felt responsible to help earn money for the family whatever their circumstance. In countries like Pakistan and Afghanistan, the only way she felt she could safely do so was by selling artwork. Fatima is already a talented artist and assumed the role of art teacher for the family. Between Fatima’s instruction and a course led by an accomplished artist in Islamabad, Nora has shown tremendous talent and has begun raising small sums for her f...

They have access to a network of global professionals and STEM leaders. Costs are clear and manageable.  And yet, Nora and Fatima face the most monumental of risks. They and their family are living as refugees in Pakistan. They were forced to flee Afghanistan because their family’s dedication to human rights made them a target. They faced starvation until Nora initiated what became the family’s Canadian support system. Like many others, they are unjustly unwelcome in Pakistan. The visas which allowed them to be the...

Nora and Fatima now teach 60 Afghan girls and young adults living in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, and India. Their younger brother is creating the Strength in STEM website and has discovered a new passion for I.T. as a result. Fatima teaches her two youngest siblings art while the others are learning core skills online. The tiny apartment in which their family must spend all their time is abuzz with teaching and learning.  Here's a recent update from Nora: I had an exceptionally rewarding week with SiSTEM. Each day brings new opportunities for both learning and teaching. Reflecting last night, I realized the journey I undertook from escaping the Taliban, overcoming numerous challenges, traveling city by city from Afghanistan to Iran, and then to Pakistan. Enduring a perilous and challenging life, I transformed our small room into a school in Pakistan, where I educated my siblings amidst countless obstacles. Today, I proudly manage an online school, dedicating myself to educating g...
