YES Alumna from Pakistan is NY Times Guest Blogger

A YES alumna from Pakistan is featured guest blogger at Nicholas Kristof’s New York Times blog:

“Sher Bano is a 17-year-old Pashtun girl from Pakistan who spent last year as an exchange student in Evanston, Illinois, as part of the Youth Exchange and Study (YES) Program.

As a guest blogger, she’ll be writing about life in Pakistan from the perspective of a teenage girl who has spent time in the West.”
