Lesley Stahl visits Rwanda, Africa, to meet a group of Afghan girls who have chosen that country as a safe haven to continue their education. Girls at SOLA are taught by an extraordinary Afghan woman whose dedication to girls’ education dates back to her days as a student at a secret school while passing herself off as a boy during the first Taliban regime.

Girls from SOLA, Afghanistan’s first boarding school for girls, are some of the few Afghan middle school and high school girls in the world who continue to have access to a formal education despite the Taliban takeover. This is a double-length segment. Shari Finkelstein is the producer.
