We often write about and mention the potential of boarding schools to become the safe consistent environment for students. With drive and a series of invested supportive adults, Shamila Kohestani made her way from Afghanistan to Blair Academy in Blairstown, NJ.
Read this great story in the NY Times about Shamila finding her way to and through an American boarding school and how the school and it's students reached-out to help and learn.
Update: Browsing the Time's site I found a video that accompanies the article. Figured I'd pass it along.
