Upglo - Helping Legal Immigrants

Linda Hearne, a Volunteer at Upwardly Global had in the past mentored a Doctor from Afghanistan. The Doctor has moved 3 times and start anew - I can understand - we have moved 8 times in US alone, not to mention India.
Reproduced a part of the article below, to read the full article, click here.
Quote:
I am reminded anew of her courage and fierce determination. M. passed the rigorous medical entrance exam at 15 and daily risked her safety to attend Kabul University's School of Medicine. She graduated only weeks before the Taliban captured Kabul in 1996 and ended women's access to formal education. M. and her family fled back and forth to Pakistan twice before moving to the U.S.; this is the third time they've had to start their lives anew.
