seeing a large library with old & new books related to law & advocacy gave me a great sense of joy and motivation. In Afghanistan, I was afraid of my goals because there were many obstacles, but now all my goals depend on my own efforts,& I will do my best to become a lawyer. /2

Merry Christmas!
We would like to acknowledge the work that everyone has done this year to support our Afghan friends who came to live with us this year. It has been a crazy 4 months but we honestly couldn’t have made this happen without the support from each & every one of you/

[Friends of Ascend Ireland @FriendAscendIre]

You will be helpers &community leaders again before long. It is our privilege and pleasure to have you living in Ireland with us. An inspiration to all!

Looking forward to more Afghan - Irish adventures in 2022! May everyone have a safe and happy Christmas! /3
