Many hands were needed to help in the transition for the immense number of Afghans that fled Afghanistan with the fall of the government there to the Taliban last year. Among those answering the call was Sahar Taman, providing legal assistance to the 13,000 Afghans located to Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, last fall. The personal situations & the legal requirements were complex, demanding deeply dedicated work of both the heart and head. Fortunately, Sahar's education & experience - with budget formulation and policy with the OMB, with the Religion and Society Dialogue Program at the National Peace Foundation, & as a newly-minted lawyer - all combined to equip her for the daunting & vital task with Operation Allies Welcome and Welcoming New Neighbors. Sahar is also Executive Director of the Mahmoud S Taman Foundation.
