Reviews: "I am honored to share this work with my co-author and partner through this scholarly journey. Dr. Soraya Fallah, had shared her commitment, her passion, her knowledge, and her meaningful personal experiences to bring us all to a significant awareness of the needs of young children from faraway places. Dr. Fallah began this journey as a member of a class of brilliant young scholars who occupied places in the graduate programs of our university, pursuing their dreams and ambitions in the area of educational leadership. She continued along that path, accepting, meeting, and overcoming challenges along the way, in the end to persevere and succeed in achieving a personal vision, to affectively assume a position as a scholarly leader and to communicate to us all, a most important message to the leaders of our schools in this country. An outstanding characteristic of an effective leader is to model the way, and we all share in the gratitude to Dr. Fallah
