Two friend of mine have had the "balloon" treatment, which in the privileged U.S. now seems almost ordinary. It is criminal to keep lifesaving materials from people who simply want to live their lives in peace. As a post script, the photos of women in scarves learning and teaching and doing important skilled work is a welcome reminder that a scarf does not a woman make. What makes her is her courage and fortitude. Thank you.
