What can Afghan youth do amidst global violence?

Dear Friends of Peace,

From one of the persistent foci of wars, the Afghan Peace Volunteers launched the Borderfree Community Centre of Nonviolence on 7^th August, 2014, in wishing to work nonviolently with the human family across all borders to abolish the socioeconomic, environmental, educational and military wars that are being waged in Afghanistan and the world today.

At the Borderfree Community Centre of Nonviolence, two Afghan street kids, Mehdi and Gulsom, describe their dreams to be a doctor and a lawyer.

Six Afghan Peace Volunteers will set off tomorrow to participate in an International Program on Gandhi and Nonviolence in India, organized by Ekta Parishad ( India ), from the 10^th of September, 2014 to the 26^th of September, 2014.

Please follow a photo journal of their journey, which will be updated at: Afghan youth’s Wish to “Stop fighting!”

Warmest wishes from Afghanistan,

Hakim with the Afghan Peace Volunteers
