16、 for a position.It is the first time I am the farthest from my home I have ever been.I am closest to my freedom I have ever been.Luckily,I got the job,but the hardest part is facing my father.但是，我从不轻放弃。我加了个为期两年的项，成为了个妇保健视察员。然后我听说了 夏蒂普乡村发展计划，个努赋予乡村社区 权的盈利性组织。我偷偷溜出家。历经了五个时的长途跋涉，只为得到试个岗位的机会。这是我第次离家这么远。

17、我从未像那次样 如此接近由。幸运地，我得到了那个作机会，但是最艰难的部分依然是 要如何对我的亲。Relatives are already scaring him about his daughter wandering off,teasing him with talk of his daughter crossing the border.When I return home,I want nothing more than just to accept the position in Thardeep.So that night,I packed all my things in a b

21、 were experiencing.It really opened my eyes.Some women had 11 children but nothing to feed them.For getting water,they would walk three hours every day to wells.The nearest hospital was at least 32 kilometers away.So if a woman is in labor,she travels by camel to get to the hospital.The distance is

22、great;she may die on her way.那天，我明了辞的重要性。我明了辞 如何影响我们的内，如何在我们的活中 扮演了个关重要的。我明了辞武更强。在夏蒂普活动中，我发现了 个我不知道的巴基斯坦，个我想象当中更复杂的国家。在那之前，我曾经以为 我的活就已经很艰难了。但是在那，我看见了在巴基斯坦 其他地区的正经历着什么。那景象让我开眼界。有些有 11 个孩，却没有物来喂养他们。为了取，她们每天要步 三个时到井边打。最近的医院少 在 32 公外的地。所以如果个即将临盆，她需要坐骆驼去医院产。路途分遥远，她或许会死在途中。So now,this became more than jus
