Afghan/ Health Fair

In the New York Times there's an article called "Afghan Girls, Scarred by Acid, Defy Terror, Embracing School."This article was written by Dexter Filkins a New York Times. In this article a afghan girl named Shamisa Husseini gets severly burned by a taliban man who sprays burning acid in her face along with her sister. Now parents of Shamisa and other parents aren't letting their daughters go to school. 14 other girls got burned badly just like Shamisa. For example Shamisa 's uncle, Ghulam Sekhi, feels bad about the situation of all the afghan girls getting burned by the Taliban group. He says" I don't want the girls sitting around and wasting their lives."
