A 60-year-old Oklahoma mother who helped several members of an internationally recognized all-girl robotics team from Afghanistan escape the country said they are feeling "so grateful" to be out.
On Tuesday, 10 of the so-called "Afghan Dreamers," aged 16 to 18, were able to leave Kabul on a commercial flight to Doha, Qatar, after several failed attempts to flee the country.
One of the people who helped them get out was Allyson Reneau, a mother-of-11 from Oklahoma, who first met the girls at a Humans to Mars summit in Washington DC in May 2019.
..."I got a text from one of the girls that just said: 'We did it.' All the emotion from two weeks of work and running into a wall constantly, and burying your feelings, and bearing your feelings for the girls, it just hit me all at once."
They were initially not able to obtain their visas to travel, but an intervention by former President Donald Trump allowed them to fly to DC and compete.

Basically, the leftists (democrats) know that making their voters lives a hot mess works for them.
Their voters are too stupid, ignorant and lazy to do any real thinking about why their lives and environment (city, neighborhood, state) is such a catastrophe. Instead, they just take the path of least resistance which is to believe what the media and their leaders tell them: It’s republicans and white people that are all the problem.
As a result, importing crime in the form of young, uncivilized males is a big win for them, but importing civilized, educated people that might make their voters lives better is a big loser for them.
They seem happy to be here,too.
Why didn’t they stay and fight?
Why should have our soldiers fought for them if they are not willing to fight?
Their families will be killed.
Like I said on another thread, we should have spent the last 20 years teaching Afghan women to be proficient with AKs and knives.
I am afraid to ask,”What the hell is a robotics team?”
“Like I said on another thread, we should have spent the last 20 years teaching Afghan women to be proficient with AKs and knives.”
If 2,500 women would slit the throat’s of their forced marriage husbands, it would end forced marriage. It is hard to sleep at night if you have to wonder whether your throat will be slit every night.
Maybe they will be invited to the White House like Clock Boy. /S
Dōmo arigatō, Mr. Roboto”
Not to worry, Biden’s gonna decree a student debt jubilee.
Feel good story but not why we went to Afghanistan.
Let her take care of them.
And the All Boys Robotics Team was offered ...? Bullets? Positions on some warlord’s knee?
Biteme’s admin will be stepping up to claim the praise.
Speaking of, I wonder if Clock Boy ended up joining The Taliban?
I don’t think there are wines that age that well.
Yes, they are a FIRST Robotics Competition Team.

These Afghans are “white” - they are of Indo-European genetics.
