The dedication of the Nooristani sisters and the devotion of their father inspires Marina Kielpinski LeGree the force behind the girls’ training. In the image below, she’s sitting with Afghan colleague Faisal Naziry (center) and Malang Darya, a well-known Afghan climber (far left). LeGree, a 36-year-old resident of Norfolk, Va., who has spent years shepherding development projects in northeastern Afghanistan, directs a nonprofit called Ascend that funds and organizes not only the training, but leadership classes for the Nooristani sisters and a handful of other Afghan girls recruited to be mountain climbers.
