She has faced tremendous obstacles every step of the way as she set up women's health clinics and schools for girls. But even when it's dangerous and seemingly hopeless, Yacoobi never stops.\u003cbr\u003e Dr. Yacoobi has a mission, to help at least a few of a lost generation of Afghan girls learn to read, write, and think critically, and she's done this over the years in tents, in schools, and on TV. Through her organization, Afghan Institute for Learning, Dr. Yacoobi has built health centres, hospitals, and schools. She has trained nurses, sponsored cultural conferences, and run an orphanage. \u003cbr\u003e How Dr. Yacoobi achieved this in a country like Afghanistan is an extraordinary story. Yacoobi takes the reader into the mysterious heart of Afghanistan as she finds innovative ways to offer girls and women the education and health services that were so long denied to them. \u003cbr\u003e Yet now, with the Taliban in charge of Afghanistan, times are dark. Girls are forced to cover their faces and silence their voices in public. Schools and health clinics have been shuttered. But Dr. Yacoobi, impassioned and relentless, still looks for glimmers of light. Education can change lives, she says. Sometimes, it just takes longer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Barlow Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/24\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781998841530\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sakena Yacoobi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53678489927861,"sku":"9781998841530","price":21.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/9781998841530.jpg?v=1793722002","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/unbreakable-hope-educating-and-healing-in-the-heart-of-afghanistan-9781998841530","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
