Bill Bryson, the current Chancellor at Durham University has raised £625000 through appeals to alumni- to fund 25 Afghan women to attend the university over next 5 years- the first starting this September. This partnership was made possible through Professor Hamidullah Amin, who is the chancellor of Kabul University and a former student at Durham University.

He has obviously been through hell and back to achieve this. Congrats to Durham Alumnae, more of this kind of thing please.
