Noor, her husband, and their young son went directly to Augusta, Maine when they left their home in Southern Iraq in 2016. It was a rough start but in the past three and a half years she has completed her high school degree at Adult Education, volunteered at four locations and is now working for the Capitol Area New Mainers Project while she gets ready to start college (KVCC) this fall to become a radiology tech. She is now 21, mother of two and helps a lot of children and immigrant families in Augusta to receive the services they need to make a good start here in Maine.

Music: Zeynep Bastik sings "Bir Daha."
