Afghan refugee achieves dream of earning education in Canada
Afghan refugee and former interpreter for the Canadian Armed Forces, Maryam Sahar, has earned a bachelor of arts degree in political science from Carleton University. “O Canada” echoed through the convocation hall at Carleton University in Ottawa, as Maryam Sahar stood waiting for her moment to cross the stage and officially graduate with a bachelor of arts degree in political science.
"The women of Afghanistan have the same dreams as me," she said. "They want to do well, they want an education." In 2012, Sahar fled to the safety of Canada, where the bond she had formed with Greenall on the battlefield carried on. She calls the veteran her Canadian mom.
