Jafari sitzt in Athen an seinem Schreibtisch, während draußen die Sonne aufgeht. Er öffnet seinen Laptop, tritt dem Videoanruf bei und spricht leise auf Dari.Auf dem Bildschirm erscheinen nacheinander Namen – seine Schülerinnen aus Afghanistan. Er sieht nie ihre Gesichter, aber er erkennt ihre Stimmen, hört ihre Fragen und bewundert ihren Mut.Er bringt ihnen bei, wie man programmiert, Fehler behebt und Webseiten Zeile für Zeile aufbaut. Sie hören aufmerksam zu und tippen still.Jafari kommt ursprünglich aus Afghanistan. Vor Jahren kam er mit dem Boot nach Griechenland – ohne Englisch, ohne Computer und ohne Plan. Eine Lehrkraft half ihm, und das veränderte sein Leben.Jetzt teilt er dieses Geschenk mit Frauen, denen der Schulbesuch verboten ist, die im Geheimen lernen und glauben, dass Lernen eine Form von Freiheit ist.Im Jahr 2024 gründete er Afghan Geeks, um afghanischen Frauen Programmieren und digitale Kompetenzen zu vermitteln. Seine Schülerinnen melden sich aus dem ganzen Land an, mit falschen Namen und in stillen Räumen.Sie lernen Programmierung, berufliche Fähigkeiten und wie man Online-Arbeit findet. Einige der besten Schülerinnen arbeiten jetzt mit ihm zusammen, bauen Websites und digitale Werkzeuge für echte Kundinnen und Kunden auf der ganzen Welt.Jafari lehrt mehr als nur Code. Er lehrt auch Selbstvertrauen, Geduld und die Kraft, nicht aufzugeben.Wenn dich seine Geschichte berührt, mach einen kleinen Schritt: Lerne heute etwas Neues. Vielleicht kannst du eines Tages auch jemandem etwas beibringen.
ENGLISH:
Jafari sits at his desk in Athens as the sun rises outside. He opens his laptop and joins the video call, speaking softly in Dari. On the screen, names appear one by one—his students from Afghanistan. He never sees their faces, but he recognizes their voices, hears their questions, and admires their courage. He teaches them how to code, how to fix errors, and how to build websites line by line. They listen closely, typing in silence. Jafari is originally from Afghanistan. Years ago, he arrived in Greece by boat with no English, no computer, and no plan. A teacher helped him, and it changed his life. Now he shares that same gift with women who are banned from going to school, who study in secret, and who believe that learning is a kind of freedom. He created Afghan Geeks in 2024 to teach Afghan women coding and digital skills. His students join from across the country, using fake names and quiet rooms. They learn programming, job skills, and how to find online work. Some of the top students now work with him, building websites and digital tools for real clients around the world. Jafari teaches more than just code. He also teaches confidence, patience, and the power of not giving up. If his story moves you, take one small step: learn something new today. Maybe one day, you can teach somebody too.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
