AFGHAN STORIES: Exhibit Web Gallery
Many news stories out of Afghanistan cover the ongoing insurgency and hardships of war. But few tell of how people are rebuilding in war's aftermath. This body of work, exhibited at five venues in New England in 2008 - 2009, explores this other side of Afghanistan.

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN - 2/10/2005: A woman named Hamida runs the numbers for her home-based business while her child tosses a toy and her husband reads to another child. Like working women everywhere, Hamida struggles to balance work demands with those of her home life. Her handicrafts business employs several dozen women, many of whom are widows and would have no other source of income. (Photo by © Paula Lerner/Aurora)
