Yet, after connecting with a group of young women mountain climbers in Kabul via video calls, they found they had much in common. That group of young Afghans are now refugees after having escaped the Taliban. Formerly the teacher-librarian at Mill Valley Middle School, Jonna Palmer will discuss how students learned about life in Afghanistan before and after the Taliban takeover, how they are helping their Afghan friends, and what the current situation is for the young women refugees. Jonna Palmer is currently an Assistant Principal in Dublin Unified School District and lives in Albany.	View
