Zehra Naviwala is studying Peace and Justice Studies at Wellesley College. She has volunteered with The Citizen’s Foundation, Pakistan's leading school-building non-profit organization, in the village of Bhittaiabad, Pakistan. She spent a Summer in Istanbul, Turkey researching the headscarf controversy and the role of women in Turkish society, and studied French language and culture in the region of Brittany, France. She just returned from working on a community development project in Ba’oun—a small village located in the mountains of northern Jordan, during which she crossed the border into the West Bank, and stayed at a refugee camp to interview Palestinian refugees who have been recently imprisoned in Israeli incarceration facilities.
