Some years ago,  Kolsoon was caring for young relatives after her sister was killed by the Taliban. Eventually Kolsoom came to Australia from Afghanistan after the Taliban threatened her life, bringing with her 1 nephew. She lost contact with the other children and only recently learned that they are living in an orphanage in another country. Kolsoom is determined to bring the children to Australia so she can care for them and give them a better future. Can you join us so together we can bring these children to safety?
