I am so inspired by Razia, and so filled with gratitude for my daughters and their life circumstances. I know “what tomorrow brings” for my daughters: a great school, piano lessons, my insistence that they empty the dishwasher and clean their rooms. Literally a world away from girls in Deh Subz, Afghanistan, for whom school attendance is a radical and possibly dangerous act–and is something that they do on top of securing water and food for their families, not to mention housekeeping and homework by the light of one small lamp.

Razia Jan was nominated for “Hero of the Year” on CNN — you can vote for her here.
