I am privileged to be Abinta Kabir’s khalamoni (maternal aunt), and want to share with all of you my happy memories of my beloved niece. Abinta came to my life like a breath of fresh air. Ruba, Abinta’s mother, never really treated her as a child. While Ruba is the daughter that my mother needed, Abinta was the granddaughter that made my mother return to us from her bereavement. When I look into the eyes of the girls studying at the Abinta Kabir Foundation school, I see hope.
