A family who escaped Afghanistan during the U.S. evacuation one year ago is celebrating milestones in their new life in Dallas.
One year later, he's done all of that.
“Everybody here has a busy life but they’re taking off their life and they want to teach my family, they want to train my family, to learn American life,” said Safi.“They are like a native speaker,” said Safi.They moved to a house and have a car that are paid for by a private supporter who contacted Safi after seeing NBC 5’s story last year.
“He grabbed my hand and he showed me walking in America how do I go ahead and how can I live,” said Safi.After his story aired, he says he and his wife were asked to meet with President George W. Bush and first lady Laura Bush. “He gave me like, a thanks for my service,” said Safi. “This is a very proud place for me,” he said holding a photo with the former president.
Safi says it's saddening to see the Taliban turn back the clock on progress made in Afghanistan the past two decades, especially when it comes to women.He says it makes him all the more grateful for everything he has here.
