Acclaimed Afghan-American author Khaled Hosseini, famous for his novels ‘ The Kite Runner ’ and ‘ One Thousand Splendid Suns ’ visited a Syrian refugee camp in northern Iraq, where he was greeted not by pain and suffering, but inspiration. The author, a former refugee and now a UN Goodwill Ambassador , had the chance to sit and talk with women who found their way to pursue their passion and profession in the midst of “a suspended existence.” “I had the chance a meet people who lost a lot, whose lives should be turned upside down ,” he says. These women, determined and unbreakable, impressed Hosseini as he delved into their life story.
“I met a young woman named Nayleen; she had this unshakeable sense of confidence. What I really found remarkable is that she really took a great pride in the fact that she is a profesional ”.
