I heard countless tales of loss, suffering and hardship. Every Afghan I met had lost at least one, usually more, members of his or her family, to rocket shelling, landmines, combat, torture, rape the list is endless. Amidst this horror, RAWA s work stands out as having a very real impact on the lives of people around them. RAWA is also impacting world opinion. If someone contributes one dollar, it helps, because that dollar can put a girl in school for a month.
Every little bit helps.
We hope that the world will hear our message. We hope that world can hear our stifled voices, and join together with us so that our voices will ring loud and strong against our oppressors. We want to return home to our country, for if we have lost our country, we have lost ourselves. We will work for peace, freedom and democracy in Afghanistan, no matter how long it takes or how many sacrifices we must make, we know that eventually we will win. It is what the people want.
