Very sorry to receive this news Mary and thank you for sharing. Rashida’s book and her visits were a source of inspiration for many ESOL students (and this teacher). The Urdu version of her book is a rare resource for new users of Urdu. May her family be granted the strength to bear this loss. Best wishes, Naeema From: ESOL-Research discussion forum and message board [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Kathleen Mary Simpson Sent: 10 February 2017 12:50 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Obituary: Rashida Abedi, author of From Sound to Silence Hi all I’m sharing this obituary of Rashida Abedi. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/feb/07/rashida-abedi-obituary Rashida wrote her life story in the Our Lives series of readers, www.ourlivespress.co.uk<http://www.ourlivespress.co.uk> and visited many ESOL classes to talk about her book.
