presentations

I think that all of the presentations were very good. I learned a lot from all of them, and I learned a lot from the presentation that I did with my group. I did my presentation on RAWA. It is sometimes astonishing to see what different people around the world have to live like. Their lives can be a lot different from mine. RAWA was established in 1977, and it is still running today. There were a lot of people against this organization, and this is why the leader, Meena, was killed. Even though she was killed, she is remembered even today. These women grow up knowing that they are literally worth half of a man. Zarmeena was a women that had a very interesting story. She was accused of killing her husband, and she was murdered in front of a large crowd. The Taliban wanted to make an example of her. Her poem, 'I'll Never Return' is very moving, and I enjoyed reading it. These presentations were a very good idea, and I'm glad that we had the opportunity to see what everyone has been learning about.
