Remember her? She appeared on the cover of National Geographic in 1985. I was only four years old then, but I still remember this picture and those eyes.
Seventeen years later Sharbat was tracked down in Afghanistan and interviewed. You can read the interview (and see her current photo) here.
Sharbat is hoping that her daughters will receive an education and hopefully live a better life than the one she's lived. And that made me think of Greg Mortinson's book Three Cups of Tea and how through his work, and those like him, that might just be a possibility. I certainly hope so.
