NCC Partner on Cover of New York Times

On Monday, the New York Times ran the this piece on the front page. The article exlpains the resurgence of the Hazara minority in Afghanistan through education and self-empowerment, drawing comparisons to the Kurds in Iraq. Marefat High School, the NCC's partner on the outskirts of Kabul, features prominantly in the piece, which includes a slideshow of photographs taken at the school. The article and its prominant placement in one of the world's most highly-egarded newspapers, is testamony to one of Being We, the People's primary purposes--exploring the role of minorities in different democracies.
