Peace of Trash: A Young Girl's Thirst for Knowledge in an Unsafe Middle Eastern War Zone

PRLog (Press Release) - Jan 19, 2010 -
How far would you be willing to go to achieve a deeply rooted ambition that you embraced above and beyond all others? Would you be as brave and relentless as young Khana, a girl who yearns for one thing first and foremost: to attend school and become learned, just like the boys in her neighborhood? You will be inspired by Khana's ingenuity and perseverance as she struggles to achieve her goal. And you will be amazed at the risks she takes and the energy she expends to fight discrimination and injustice – from secretly dressing like a schoolboy to rummaging through local landfills seeking out trash treasures to sell. Khana's remarkable journey is bigger and more profound than her young age suggests. Will Khana get the education she longs for? And will she ultimately understand that girls from different cultures are free to study and live in peace?
