Razia Jan is fighting to educate girls in rural Afghanistan, where terrorists &lt;a href='http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/02/world/meast/cnnheroes-jan-afghan-school/index.html'&gt;will stop at nothing&lt;/a&gt; to keep them from learning. She and her team at the Zabuli Education Center are providing a free education to about 350 girls, many of whom wouldn't normally have access to school. &quot;This honor is a God-given gift that will make it possible for me to continue to give a ray of hope to these girls,&quot; Jan said. &quot;My goal is to break the cycle of violence.&quot; &lt;a href='http://www.cnn.com/2012/11/26/asia/gallery/heroes-jan/index.html' target='_blank'&gt;See more photos of Razia Jan&lt;/a&gt;
