She is a 21-year-old girl, youngest sister to five brothers and five sisters. She lives with her sister and parents. I remember her being shy and a girl who would hide herself in a corner. Today I was surprised to see her at Panaga center with a bunch of flowers greeting us in our office. From a girl who couldn’t write her own name when we first found her to now joining girls’ clubs, playing football, going to gym and improving her job skills in different trainings.

      Today she is at Panaga center to get on a three-month internship for a job placement with nine other girls and boys. We are proud, excited for Yasmin and her progress in a few years. She is a great example of the power of Yezidi girls. All we did is our job in providing the opportunity and she used it in the best way possible.
