Binia Lachnitt

Binia Lachnitt found us at exactly the right time. This ninja lives in the Netherlands with her kids but she speaks English and German fluently. Born in Germany and raised in South Africa, she has been an enormous help — translating and editing many articles and even conducting an interview herself with young Afghan women and girls for the English edition. Read her chapter and let us know: should Binia the Ninja write more stories for us?
