Fremont resident Zafar Khan Yousufzai has been selected for
the EHLS scholarship 2007 program which is funded by the National

of Washington and upon completion of the program will aspire
to work in the United States Department of Defense, Homeland
Security, State Department or other related segments of the

marketing, and retail management since he immigrated to the
United States . He earned his Master’s Degree in Political

English and Urdu, Zafar also retains a surprising familiarity
with Persian.
