Our main project, called “Journey with an Afghan School,” began just months after 9/11 and the Taliban were removed from power in Afghanistan. It is a grassroots project to build and supply schools for Afghan children. 

With funds raised by communities across the country, we have defied all odds by building and supplying 18 new schools and repairing and equipping more than 20 others, serving about 25,000 Afghan students. We also have provided wells; distributed text-books, school supplies and athletic equipment; provided teacher trainings; and set up libraries, computer centers and PTAs. Most recently, we set up two teacher training centers, training several hundred teachers.

 We are not simply interested in building schools.  We want to build bridges of understanding and mutual respect between Afghans and Americans.  Our hope is to engage, educate and empower the poor in the developing world.
