Special guest speaker: Nasrine Abou-Bakr Gross

Join us on Thursday, June 18th, from 5:00 –7:00 p.m. at the Oelwein Public Library for a compelling talk by Nasrine.
Nasrine will discuss her advocacy for women’s rights and education in Afghanistan during Taliban rule. She will present an exclusive short documentary titled Love Letters from Kabul, which offers an uncensored view of the daily lives of women in Kabul, produced by Susan Andersen, Professor of Psychology at New York University. There will be a discussion following the film.
Nasrine, a native of Afghanistan, is the founder of Kabultec and the Roqia Center in Kabul. She graduated from the American University in Beirut, Lebanon, where she met her husband, Dr. Max Gross, who is a native of Fayette, Iowa.
