I am a student teacher currently working in the English department at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary in Surrey. We will be reading “The Kite Runner” in the next two weeks and it would be so great if I could get a speaker to come into my classroom to talk about Afghanistan – the life, the culture – first hand information on the country. Could you suggest such a person that I might ask?
Gratefully,
Devon Campbell
I would like to receive information on future events.
