Laura, Suria and Ellen.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer: "Suria, 51, had watched helplessly as mujaheddin guerrillas put a gun to her head and dragged her husband out of their home 26 years ago. She says they killed him because he continued to work for the government even after the Soviets took over. They also said he wasn't faithful to Islam. "I kept showing them the Koran and saying we are believers, but they closed the Koran and took him," she said, nearing tears. Today, she runs a company that sells crocheted baby clothing and employs 15."
While in New York, Ellen introduced Suria to a children's boutique, and the owner has contracted with Suria for several samples.
