Illustration of a simple room with a bed on the floor, blankets, framed photos on the wall, and a window looking out at a desert landscape.

There is not much furniture—just a thin mat on the floor where she sleeps. The walls are bare, with no pictures or decorations to make the space feel homely. A tiny window lets in a little light, but the view outside is of a world filled with danger. In one corner, there are a few blankets, neatly folded, ready to be used when it gets cold. The room is dusty, and the air feels heavy, but it is still a place where Parvana can rest and escape, even if only for a moment. It’s not a cozy space, but it is hers. This room is more than just four walls. It is a place where Parvana’s family gathers, whispers about their worries, and makes plans for survival. Even though it is small and simple, it represents strength and hope. Parvana doesn’t have much, but she finds ways to keep going. Her room is a quiet reminder of how tough life can be and how strong she must be to get through it. See more
