An inspiring narrative of overcoming adversity and sheer determination to survive and advance humanity.


"Present in the Past" is a glimpse into the moments in the life of Touran Mirhadi , renowned educator and founder of Children Encyclopedia Project in Iran, and much more. How does she overcome adversities, one after another and rise up to be even greater?
