A terrified family, including their one-year-old child, evacuate their native country amidst war and genocide, leaving behind all earthly possessions, relatives, a family business, and life-long memories to take refuge in a foreign country. Why begin a story in such a manner?

Most native-born citizens have lived in a bubble of security and stability until recent times, but this is how the life of Waheeda Kara began. If we can fathom the injustice and allow ourselves to feel even an iota of Ms. Kara’s pain, then we might begin to long for and lobby for certain changes. We might also understand the life quests of this fascinating lady and perhaps conceive as to why she works so hard at what she does.
