After the shooting at Sandy Hook School, Elizabeth Vaughn, daughter of a Newtown Board of Educa-tion employee, saw a picture circulating from Karachi, Pakistan, with children lighting candles next to a sign that read, “Connecticut school killing, [we] feel [your] pain as [you] would feel our pain.” So when she learned about the devastating school attack in Peshawar, Ms Vaughn quietly organized a candle-light vigil that featured messages in Urdu translated onto posters by a Pakistani acquaintance. About two dozen friends and Sandy Hook Elementary School community members gathered for the brief memorial Friday, December 19, in Sandy Hook Center. (Voket photo)
