In February of 2022, BCICRR proudly welcomed Nooranshah, his wife Afsoon, their children Kurshid now age 9, Abubaker now 6, and Mohammad Sediq now 3.5. Also part of the family is Nooranshah’s sister, Shazia.

 

Nooranshah is employed full time as a driver for a health care provider. Kurshid is in 4th grade.  Her brother Abubakker started kindergarten this year.  Mohammad Sediq  is working with a tutor and will enter preschool in the fall of 2025.  The children’s tutor (a BCICRR team member) reports that the older two are thriving in school and that Sediq enjoys his lessons.  Afsoon and Shazia have spent significant time with tutors improving their English.  Afsoon now has her driver’s licence which allows for increased independence.

Both Nooranshah and Shazia have joined the committee helping a new Afghan family find their way in the U.S.
