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.

KANDAHAR, AFGHANSISTAN - 5/15/2007: A young woman holds up a shawl she is embroidering in the khamak style. A traditional activity for home-bound Kandahari women, no one objects to them doing this work. For the past several years a Kandahar-based NGO has been marketing this product which gives this woman and others an earning power they never had before. (Photo by © Paula Lerner)
