She discovered a small pocket area in the middle of big city where people were living without water or electricity and all the basics necessity of life. She started visiting these families and bringing supplies to them. Taking the kids to enroll them to local school and persuade the principle of school to enroll these kids by promising her that she will provide all the supplies and uniform they need to attend school.

Maryam grew up questioning everything, and asking the big why. She was seeking the answers in many books she read since she was only 5 years old. She read a book about Vietnam War written by Oriana Fallaci, and made her question the purpose of all wars. She came across of a book by Anton Makarenko who created an alternative school or camp for orphan children on street. Kids were living at the camp, working and studying there. The result was amazing transformation of these lost kids who turned out to be doctors and engineers and successful members of the new society in the Soviet Union.
