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 and visited many ESOL classes to talk about her book. She was an inspiring woman who handled her deafness with great courage.
