Anna Hacker: Building an education center in Kabul

Time:  Tuesday, December 20, 12 noon

Place: UNCenter/UNICEF, 6242 E. Speedway in the Monterey Village Shopping Center (SW corner of Speedway and Wilmot)

Please join us for our monthly, free Brown Bag Lunch discussion series, held on the third Tuesday of every month.

Inspired by the Afghan proverb, "There is a way from Heart to Heart," Anna Hacker, retired international educator, will share her six-year journey to build an education center for street children and women in Kabul, Afghanistan.  Anna, who returned from Afghanistan a few days ago, will share personal stories of Afghanis, their struggles and successes.  This is something we rarely hear in the press.

Bring a lunch.  We will provide coffee, tea and snacks.
