Razia Jan, CNN Top 10 Hero and founder of Razia’s Ray of Hope, is coming to Bainbridge Island on Monday, Sept. 26 to share her inspiring story of founding the first school for girls in Deh’Subz, Afghanistan.

The public is welcome at the presentation, which will take place at the Rotary Club of Bainbridge Island’s weekly 11:30 a.m. meeting at St. Barnabas Church, 1187 Wyatt Way NW.

A long-time resident of Duxbury, Massachusetts, Jan moved back to Afghanistan in 2002 to improve the lives of young women in her home country.

In 2008, she opened the Zabuli Education Center, an all-girls K-12 school in rural Afghanistan. In the years since, the school has grown from 100 students to more than 550. The first graduating class matriculated last year. And Jan has now completed construction on a post-secondary school: The Razia Jan Institute.

As part of her presentation, Jan will share a preview of “What Tomorrow Brings,” a new documentary that brings the school to life through the interconnected stories of students, teachers, village elders and parents.

A longer clip of the film will be screened at Seattle Town Hall, 1119 Eighth Ave., from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Monday.
