Letter to a Volunteer

Children bye to Ian

by Ian Pounds

I sit in a chair at my kitchen table sipping green tea and listening to the many stringed rabab and timpanic tabla consort together in a Pashto Ghazal. There is something scandalous about this music because it tells of secrets, some of which many people would rather live without.

Naruz, the Afghan New Year may be a time to sit back and reminisce, but this March there was little opportunity to languish. On four fronts people are working daily to facilitate and usher in this period of growth as smoothly as possible without, (as often happens with grassroots organizations that prove effective and then get all kinds of attention) removing a finger from the pulse of our original mission and philosophy.

Dear Friends of AFCECO orphanages,

Children on their way to Italy

Winter is in full swing, and snow has begun to fall in Kabul. To brighten the dark nights we recently celebrated Mohsin’s birthday. While some children have gone to visit their villages, the rest are getting some extra schooling thanks to twelve volunteers on break from Kabul University. All major subjects are covered, including English and a computer tutorial.
