Stories Told by the Wind
Meet the people of today's Afghanistan. In a country that has been ravaged by three decades of war, this investigative report explores the daily lives of a population trying to move forward with their lives.
Afghanistan is trying to recover from a lifetime's worth of strife and thanks to international aid efforts life is slowly beginning to change. Mountain villages have benefited from reservoirs whilst children of Kabul are increasingly attending schools. "For them, going to school is like being in a different world, a world where they simply are children." Yet problems remain. Many families in Kabul rely on their children to work. "If you are poor, this job is all you get", says 12 year old Navid, who works as a porter. A bright future for Afghanistan seems possible but it is in jeopardy without a comprehensive aid strategy, sound governance and financing.
