coming here, afghan news whenever i can and have been very impressed with your public statements and farsi and your commitment and your leadership has been extremely inspiring, so i thank you for your service as the first lady for afghanistan. with that, i would like to open the floor and take questions, comments. please introduce yourself so we know who you are. please, here and in we will move around. >> i want to say that yes, i mastered the dari language. i've also given a speech in pashtun. >> you have? >> on april 6 i went to jalalabad and joined their women's day, international women's day celebration and outspoken posture and because this is the language of a -- >> and deeper i missed about. thank you spirit there are things you don't know about me. >> we will not make any commen comments. >> madam first lady, congratulations on speaking in farsi far better than i do their i was born in kabul. i am the program director for a group called capitalize international in washington, d.c. i thank you for being a positive inspiration a public image not only for the women of afghanistan but
